The Throne Of Pride
Forgiveness is harder to give; than receive;
but love is all about giving;
love in forgiving; more than we believe;
makes our lives worth living.
Love is an ocean, governed by its tide;
its circular motion; an ebb and flow;
within its waters, all life’s truths reside;
taking it where we want it to go.
We withhold love for sisters and brothers;
even tho we know it’s not right to do;
but as you express your love of all others;
their love will return to you;
Many of us, are kings, on a throne of resistance;
our contempt, for some; we’re unable to hide;
unable to yield to the Master’s insistance;
we’re looking down, from our throne of pride.
But what can trigger our energy of hate;
when what we give; we shall receive?
Although we may not even think or relate;
all Wisdom commands we believe.
Who has the wisdom, above all the rest,
to cast the very first stone;
forgiveness is the quintessential test;
and Love leaves the guilty alone.
Whatever’s been done; sleeps in its grave;
for that is the Master’s rule;
those, filled with pride; seek to enslave;
and such is the pride of a fool.
