LSS (Little Sacred Songs) VI

Christ shed his Blood, wept and cried for mankind
Yet, man’s earthly dealings shows nothing so kind
With minds on high chair to drum each other
With songs of otherness far from order.
Like a tiger the strong hits hard the meek
And would say survival knows not the weak
Yet, the most high came in the lamb of Light
With great lessons, none of which about fight
For earthly grandeur, with one all seek first
The Kingdom in which we shall quench our thirst
Without any thoughts of this wilderness
Here on earth where those in power are mindless.
So, relent not for His Name’s sake stay strong
In mind and steer clear through you, comes no wrong!

Does it really need to creep in as a dream
For those by the river to catch a bream
When more than a century and a quarter
Ago Washington dressed the painful tear
The blade of iniquity left on us
And for which we were treated worse than dross?
He’d seen the proud shroud cloud us with ignorance
And he chose to show us the importance
Of this awe-inspiring dream to this day
We see here giving us the right of way
We have just one choice to carry forward
With knowledge to reap a handsome reward
Left whole for us all to nurture and treasure
With wisdom and as such garner pleasure
