The Crucible

Earth was designed as the crucible for man;
considered the place of life’s birth;
tho a garden in heaven was where life began;
it’s “melting pot” became on the earth.

It was where all facets of life came together;
all diversity, within it; destined to blend;
unity and love would both thrive forever;
of peace and harmony, there’d be no end.

Life was created as a solitary foundation;
a schism of division split it apart;
Consciousness devised a special creation;
where all life, shared the same heart.

Division and hate weren’t a part of creation;
they weren’t built into the plan;
they were the cause of a need for salvation;
tyranny was devised by the man.

Consciousness created it all by mere thought;
we’re all just figments on a mind’s creation;
conscious conclusions, by the Master wrought;
life was created by the Master’s imagination.

Then life, itself, took on the Master’s roles;
having the freedom to create on his own;
new kingdoms, were brought about by souls;
with evil, himself, seated on their throne.

The kingdom of heaven is ruled by love;
the kingdom on earth;  by tyrannical power;
love, must return to it’s kingdom, above;
for, tyranny will never allow love to flower.
