The Kingdom of God is Within You (a poem) cf Luke 17:20-21

 

  The Kingdom of God is within you
a transcendent realm of spirit
living for the souls
taken with the Lord
beyond time

    And space with worlds reigned
where wickedness has clout
wraiths of destruction compile reason
to kill the pursuit of peace and doubts
that material concerns are absolute in season

    Life inexorably does slip away
thermodynamics rise for original sin
corrected those errors that did start
de-calibrating peace from mankind’s origin
requiring the Lord to provide new hearts

  Just anything; the temporal is pushed forward
civilization is not a well-oiled machine
Utopian hopes drive a few toward time
where matter configured rightly is a personal dream
those conflicts and clashes are someone else’s crime.
