God/dess
by
John William McGrath III
I walk in a dream, though I think I am awake
The world is smoke and mirrors
Light and shadow, good and evil
Who is the author of this vile imagination?
Why do I see the predators, Men destroying children?
Love lost in the selfishness of evil intent
Where is the God of light in this vale of darkness?
Who will deliver me from this nightmare?
Why the insane desire to kill innocents for God?
Where does Allah ask little tin soldiers to destoy His world?
Why does prosperity turn into greed?
Why did God create this horrible world?
Yes My child, you do walk in a dream
And indeed this world is a world of smoke and mirrors
The light and shadow is your inability to focus
As you are the author of this "vile imagination"
A reflection of your fear of failure
Child, you are mine, I, your Mother/Father birthed You
You are a God/dess my sweet child, and I love you
Far beyond your present comprehension
I die daily for you my beloved
Your pain is my pain, your failures rend my heart
But it must be, Child, you are the world, my dear
You are creating yourself with every thought
And with every fear, you are all things
Oh how I long to come to your aid,
When you create the things that oppress you so!
You injure your self, and I grieve with you
You are the reality, my sweet one
All that is your domain, your world is your creation
And it must needs be thus, child
It is your LOVE that sustains Nature
When you learn to focus on the perfect world
And maintain it in Love, peace and harmony
you will have matured enough for greater things
So my beloved child, it is in your hands
