Everyone

Views things

Differently.

Proof of our

Individuality and

Finely-formed

Minds.

Whether we should

Be trusted

Or allowed to

Act out

Those thoughts

To the detriment

Of others

Is quite

Another thing.

Some words

That die

In the brain

Do so

For good reason.

⠀

●

⠀

A whiff of

That old fail-safe

"democracy"

Has us

Beating our chests;

Reciting mantras,

Indelible rights

In tow.

Rights which are

As much

Theirs

As yours

And mine.

They too,

Whatever their

Colour or creed,

Deserve the

Freedom to

Choose

Without fear of

Denunciation and

Aggression.

⠀

●

⠀

When the world

Is upside-right,

And God

Is left to

Decide

What

Takes precedence

When,

We are

Always assured

Of an Arbiter

Who is without

Bias

Error

Or ego.

⠀

●

⠀

The bonuses?

Outstanding!

Oodles of

Tender

Compassionate

Merciful

Love.

Plus

A plan

So marvellous

An Oscar

Wouldn't suffice

To celebrate

The scenes...

Good News

So fantastic

A Pulitzer jury

Would dismiss it

Out of hand

As ridiculously

And unbelievably

Unfactual...

⠀

●

⠀

Bottom line

We can choose

To be right

About everything,

Striving to prove it

In unorthodox and

Demeaning ways,

Or simply practise

Peace.

Because the two

Invariably

Do not tally.

My rights,

Your misery.

Your stance,

My pain.

Tolerance

Would seem

To be

A very happy

Middle ground.

Our intertwined lives

One unnegotiable

Walk together.

Harmony personified.

Eden beckons...

🕊️

📖 Always be humble and gentle. Patiently put up with each other and love each other. Try your best to let God's Spirit keep your hearts united. Do this by living at peace.
