The Face Of Man

Minds to wonder of unseen greatness
For strength lies into the unknown
Grasping the knowledge to make one stand tall
Yet, we fall under the grace of man
 
Failing our purpose of truth in the eyes of our Creator
Wars, famine, hunger
We bow in grace
Shed tears, give of our souls to reach beyond our hearts
 
The bombs continue
Flies and propaganda reside in diverse places
Monetary relief falls short of the glory of our sacred Deity
We seek higher truth, evident we are all made equal
 
Strife, racial discontent is the earth’s demise
Eyes with blinders, hitherto, we peek for moments of bias
Of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
The trinity to survive our will
 
Yet, we are dying of its thirst
Hungering as we sit at the feast of an empty buffet
Truth fulfills the appetite of the tongue
Lies swallows the essence of the heart
 
Dreads of the past, burden speaks its costly mistakes
Its unbalance patrols the mind, controls the essence of thy will
Inner beauty of the divinity we profess
In the mirror, ugliness found within the reflection
 
On our knees, our deepest darkest secrets revealed
As we stand, want, needs, masquerading our existence
Weakened flesh, circles of sins, squandering the jena se quois of one’s soul
Hellish sinkage
 
Redemption of oil, salvation in its anointing
Mystic enlightened is found within
To know thy true self, allow your beam of knowledge to shine
May it be the lantern to illuminate your inner soul
For others to witness, to understand, and to accept its divine wisdom within
