Made to submit
It does not seem to matter where we come from, no matter where people live or end up there is often a great longing and desire for a higher power, the Arabs had their Kaaba before Islam, the Africans had their ancestors while others evoked spirits from of old, while others used Voodoo, both Latin and Native Americans had their own spiritual worship, the Chinese have their own gods while the Caucasians had some kind of witchcraft, as the Romans had Caesar and Kings and the Jews had God. Why do we all long for a higher power. For something greater? Is it that we all have that innate instinct to pursue what we were made from and for? For all people whatever we do for our spirits is an expression that there is something greater we are aware of even in the subconscious. One God, one people? hmmm!? Poets are known to speak through a voice of desire, desire for a better life, better politics, does that sound like a contradiction? Better Politics!?
In a cosmic way power and tenderness come together in poetry.
In Poetry water and paradise are symbolically tied to one another. Yet for the imagery in poetry, desire remains on paper, orally told. what is it about life that restricts us from living the desire expressed in poetry,David and Solomon did... live out truth, express who we are and be unashamed to pursue what we know is true. Living in deceit is much more distressing than living in truth.
Just watched Angel heart and even though he tried to cry out that he knew who he was, he had nothing to fall back on, when Lu Ci fer insisted he owned him. The love of money, not too much though,was enough to keep him doing what he did not know and because of the fact that he thought he knew who he was,he had not submitted to anyone greater than Lu Ci Fer.
Roosevelt once said, "Men can never escape being governed, if from lawlessness or fickleness from folly or self indulgence, they refuse to govern themselves, then in the end they will be governed by others.'
I believe that God through Christ lives in me and because of that my Life is governed by him and in him I live my Life.
