The Prescription
When sick, we see a doctor or nurse;
due to illness or other affliction;
in order that things won’t get worse;
we’re given a doctor’s prescription.
A prescription is an order you can obey;
to improve your physical condition;
instead, you may think, “I’ll be okay;”
ignoring the prescription’s decision.
Many ignore that written prescription;
doing so, at their own risk;
occaisionally resulting in further infliction;
and their doctor tries to insist.
But doctors are not in control of our lives;
that’s not how it’s intended to be;
we sometimes ignore husbands and wives;
for the Master has set us all free.
A subtle prescription comes from above;
given by the Master and Lord of All;
suggesting, that each; takes and gives love;
in order that weakness, not cause a fall.
But patients often ignore prescriptions;
leading many followers to go astray;
fearing adherence to love’s addictions;
their lives are weakened by decay.
Creation’s Master remains in command;
knowing the risk to the kingdom above;
what was a prescription; is now a demand:
“If you want to live; then, Love!”
