Democracy gets in the way of progress,

Dictatorships self destruct through arrogance,

But between the two

We can have the illusion

That life is worth living.

Only God can make sense of it all,

And if you consider there isn’t one,

Then Dignitas is waiting for your custom,

But be prepared for deja-vu.

God is not mocked,

And so the intellectual circle

Is never broken

But language does it’s best.

When words fail

And actions hold their head in shame,

And the most cynical of us all say

“What is point?”

Some of us might like to look again

At the Biblical text,

Not allowing our prejudices

Against institutional and organised religion

And to behold “The Man.”

“For God so loved the world,That he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Flowers for the soul,

And where there is a balance

You and I are whole.

Birds lift our eyes

To look into the blue

And bees, though a lot smaller,

Are there for me and you.

The balancing of the clouds

Waters wheat and rye

The oats and lentils

And bean shoots to stir fry.

Where there is a balance

Love gives it’s command.

The selfish are disfigured

Where all the world is harmed.

And where there is a balance

A tightrope you can walk,

Don’t force that which is stubborn,

Be skilful in you talk.

But, alas, my thinking is now all diverted

From it’s original thought,

And that’s because my balance

Is seriously at fault.
