Choose Not Victory
In the kingdom above; life chose competition;
choosing to mount God’s throne;
by choice; we selected rejection and division;
our victory; left us alone.
Now, we find ourselves living on this earth;
separated due to our rejection;
longing to someday return to our birth;
in search of the Master’s protection.
We still find ourselves in constant competition;
wherever we go; whatever we do;
we’ve still chosen rejection and division;
conflict seems what we most imbue.
More recently, the prodigals found a new master;
relying on being led by one of their own;
depending on mere narratives led to disaster;
while their fool occupied their throne.
Now, they’re demanding we all speak as one;
unification has become their obsession;
demanding the throne that belongs to God’s Son;
they refuse to accept our rejection.
They require that we all think and act alike;
there is no view, but their own;
bringing forth darkness of an endless night;
founded upon evil’s throne.
We’re reaching a precipice; and all must choose;
in the most defining hour of all history;
if we all acquiesce; all our freedoms, we’ll lose;
to win; choose not their victory.
