Yet

"And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light."
NIV 2 Corinthians 11:14

God
doesn't rule the earth
Yet.

The earth is ruled by man!

Men of dirty clothes
men of cloth
enslaving yearning souls
with the bondage of deceit.

Men
not God.
tell us what is right
and what is wrong.
Men, not God
create
good and evil.

Man captures spirits
With false teachings
of blame
and shame.

Man teaches
unsuspecting children
lies.

Man weaves
dark dirty clothes
from dusty threads
to cover
innocent naked spirits
with false teachings.

Man hides
God's naked truths.

Look at the birds
Look at the trees
Look at the stars
Feel the breeze.

Man is not righteous.

Man only preaches
self-righteous works.

Man makes not
pure hearts of love.

Man labels free thoughts
of a pure mind, sin.

Man labels the joys
of true achievement
as sin.

Man clothes us
with garments of
predictable
consistent
behaviors.

Giving man control
of mind
and body
and soul
for selfish purposes!
to feed man's lusts!

This is how
Man establishes power.
over us.

Man keeps our mind dimmed
with false notions
which he calls
beliefs in God.

In order to make
dark
behavior rules
and laws
which man teaches
as God's Way.

But read The Word
And pray
Accept The Son
A spirit
The Spirit of Love.

Tear off
man's dirty clothes
Walk naked in truth.

Follow the light
In Love
From the skies.

Accept God's Son
And God's Power
And God's Glory
in your heart.

And live
in eternal freedom.

For it's true
God
doesn’t rule the earth

Yet.

Newell darling boy Oh my I’m stunned with admiration this has got to be one of your utter utter best. Truly the line and flow in this is absolutely excellent. And the truth simply shines in it.

Release your spirit fly high and free, walk in HIS light and free we all shall be.

Wonderful writing wonderful message and lets hope the message is listened to. For it's not that the message isn't broadcast, or that the message isn't heard, it is, it's just not listened too. We should all listen to what is being said.

Fabulous writing darling boy utterly utterly fabulous

  
Love and warm stuff

Newell,
would you command we cast off clothes to return to innocence...I thought the reverse would be true lol. This poenm caught me and trapped me in your honeyed enchantments. Beautiful.
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Kethry, thanks for reading. No, I would never command anything. But I do think that each individual should be encouraged to think purely, freely and honestly.

I believe that what we have here is not an issure of physical clothes, per se, but of the dirty clothes of spiritual illusion. It is a spiritual war. And we always reap the consequences of what our spirits are enticed to do. At least let us march forward with open eyes.

Wow Newell, as I read this, I saw your image on a pulpit preaching, loud. A lot of truth in this fine piece. floria

Thank you, floria, for you kind thoughts. Yes, when I was a child, everyone thought I would be a preacher. I was the oldest son of a preacher. And my three younger brothers did become preachers. I was the black sheep.
As I always quarreled with the doctrine and dogma, I never wanted to be dishonest with God. Now, I know why I felt that way.
