Endless circles -A Choka

"At that time many will turn away from the faith and
will betray and hate each other," NIV Matthew 24:10

Hate burned 911
And hate caused a bad disease
For now we, too, hate
Souls think beyond mere cleansing
Purging all we seek
As our souls, too, want to fry
To make more men die
Justice is indeed required
In peaceful sound ways
As God loves all His Children
Still will make them pay
Die yes, but not evil hate
Death comes with sadness
Love has no room for dark hate
Call now for justice
Not open hateful killing
Endless circles making war.

Endless circles.

This was nice Newell. and I do agree, I am against killing, but we must protect ourselves, and of course this could open up an entire discussion on the war. so lets just say I am truly against killing but I am all for defending our people. floria

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Newell, this is so very sad, it breaks my heart to see so much violence and hatred in this world, and I pray together we can all break the cycle and offer harmony to the world influenced by the teachings of our Lord! (big hugggsssss) This is so sad but wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much, God Bless You! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Floria, yes we must protect our people. And yes doing so will likely cause some killing. What I fear is the flame of hate causes men to always go to far, and often loose perspective. Hate causes more killing than is necessary. And it is contageous. And then the innocent must retaliate. And they hate. And another war starts. And on and on around in circles. So I just think we should love our enemy like Christ said, as whatever required protective action takes place. Yes we can love people as we're killing them. I think this just makes us a lot more careful to do the job right. Make any sense?

You seem to grasp the style well.
Very well written

And hate caused a bad disease
For now we, too, hate
Souls are beyond mere cleansing

Can say I agree with this,
Souls are never beyond cleansing
You just got to use the right cleaner.

Gloom, you are correct, as usual. I need to fix souls beyond mere cleansing. Meant to convey souls thinking beyond mere cleansing. Thanks for your astute observation.
