The old tools we have been using
these thousands of years
are out of date: there surely must be
new ones to find, to put to use!

God: father, mother, creator, lover,
provided man with a universal toolbox
full of practical, wonderful tools
with which to create and evolve;
to build a universe of wonders and delights
for God and friends to contemplate and enjoy.
Sadly, man saw only the top layer:
a few religious books, a scattering of 'isms',
a few incomplete philosophies,
grabbed at by power-hungry fools
declaring themselves god-chosen rulers.

From these they interpreted a god of war
of greed and blood, of petty thoughts
a god, in short, so afraid of man
he wilfully plunged an entire world
under a watery flood, knowing full well
man's woes would but continue and grow
regardless of punishment meted out!

Ah, what are these wonderful things
man failed to find in the toolbox?
They’re called love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness and yes,
even gentleness and tenderness... towards all things.
All things, we now should understand,
are native of the spirit soul of God:
rock, salamander, tree or man, we all are one!

Each spirit moves gently within time...the one constant that was created to teach.

Loved this cosmic toolbox.
