did not merely say,
'walk cheerfully over the earth'.
The Fox said,
'walk cheerfully over the earth....
spare no deceit. Lay the sword upon it;
go over it....
Spare no place,
no word, no pen;
be a terror
to the adversaries of God
and a dread;
answering that of God in them all.
Ye have the power, do not abuse it;
eye the wisdom...
the wisdom of creation...
that you may be
ordered...
may you live...
where glory
and life is.'
Deceit.
Foolhardiness and fooling - ourselves
of anything less than -
the glory the life of god:
action truth beauty
stand on top of structures; tear them down
this requires
a fundamental
life-transformation.
why didn't anyone tell me that
walking cheerfully
required
such radicalness.
that the Christ
is nothing if not
revolutionary
that without revolution
we just keep spinning
the same fabric of destruction
not knowing where to turn we
move: myopic animals just
turning randomly floating endlessly
un-ordered.
but there is an order there is
Love
who comes with the sword
of the word.
