Joint Ambition (Yeshuah)

it is careless to say
you can't do something
when you can easily
go the way
each and every day

let Me† say
what I† need to say
keeping wolves at bay
if you have time
in your day

it helps to listen
what Yeshuah†
has to say

time is of the essence
time is slipping
but time is also awakening

you don't have to penalize
yourself
for what others
have to say

Truth mocks no one

see brighter days
in the looks
on a poor man's face
who walks at a slow pace
one he cannot win
keeping up with Greed's pace

the poor man accepts
instead
Grace
what's gentle and easy
but hard and simple
his hands at work
singing a slow tune
beneath his breath
as he guides mules 
across a field
or sands along the edge
of a long board
or carefully places thread
in the eye of a needle
or slowly and carefully
cooks a meal
seasoning it just so
as the taste is divine

a poor man or woman
doesn't wrestle with time
each day is each day
resting and working
singing and enjoying
all God's† great creations

unlike the rich man
who runs carelessly
after material possessions
thinking about
what others are thinking
worrying, considering
worrying
how much money is needed
how much more
can be made

this unsettling way
leads to all sorts of Sin
causing darkness
to fall
as Light tries to come in

it is simple to live
but living has to be governed
trusting in a king
far, far away
justifies nothing
to the human race

it's not in their face
but it's ever so present
to slow down
a greedy man's pace
then speed it up again
for pure pleasure
of control

it's always been
God†, the Father†, calls for Faith
in an unseen King
to have Faith in self
to discipline self
to guide self

but man has a hard time
with self
facing self is hard, tiring
shameful, embarrassing
…all to self

so man focuses on
what he can get
instead of what he can give

a tiring world
always collapses over time
of man's need to 'get'

man works extremely hard
satisfying the Ego
instead of the self

Pride begins to consume him
until he can't admit
his faults, his injury

it's the way of man

only in his destruction
does he return to Faith
and this time
only lasts a little while

history doesn't mend
Blame doesn't weaken
but gets strong
because man needs proof
proof of his very existence
he cannot accept self
as the self lives now
not then, not will be
but now

since he cannot leave Ego out
he's constantly searching
for this proof

in the ancient world
in the present world
in the world that is not yet

from outside the body
to inside the body

he stumbles on his own self
passing it by
as he rushes to find this proof
when 'existence' is standing
right in his shoes

in careful observation
while looking inside the body
man cannot accept
...he must look deeper
constantly searching

technology is making man
a fool
placing his strength
and his weakness
in a machine of wires

man will fail
for he's reaching 
too far in
