I Am That I Am

Center Of Eternity

When you hear someone call your name you would expect
It to have come from a person and not a bush
That is burning. If such a thing happened to me
I would not be as calm and composed. I would be
Figuring out the fastest way to get my tush
Out of Dodge. Would my behavior be incorrect?

“Take your sandals off, Moses. You’re on holy ground.
I’m the God of your father, Isaac, Abraham,
And Jacob.”
Moses hid his face. He was afraid

That indeed some horrendous mistake had been made
Yet he did have courage because he didn’t scram
As I would have done. Bless him for hanging around.

God had orders for Moses. “Take your people out
Of Egypt and take them all back to Israel.”

Moses had questions but the biggest one he had
Was how would he convince folks he hadn’t gone mad.
“Who should I say that told me to do this, pray tell?”
That they would believe him he had tremendous doubt.

God replied, “Tell them ‘I Am That I Am’ sent you.
This is my name forever. This is how I’ll be
Remembered for many generations to come.”
It’s a name that makes you want to scratch your head some.

I Am is the name of God so naturally
When you utter the words I Am, you are that too.

The Playing Field

Presidential Possibilities

There’s something very dangerous and frightening
About what happens when a bunch of people who
Must hate gather together, but people who love
Have more power. Their consciousness is far above
That of others who have nothing better to do
Than to share things that are counter enlightening.

Why is it called The Playing Field? Are we a game?
And have We The People become innocent pawns
Who are ruled by corruption? The answer is Yes.
Who among those now playing will clean up the mess
Of our government? And what are the pros and cons
Of each runner? What message does each one proclaim?

It’s much bigger than Flint. It’s all over this land.
How people are mistreated especially those
Of color who do not have the means to fight back
Tells us that we adhere to a mindset of lack.
Who among those now running would want to expose
All the darkness? Who does have the most righteous stand?

Trading right and wrong for left and right, we’ve become
Extremely polarized. What can we do to change
This dynamic? The change is within everyone.
Unity in diversity cannot be done
If the notion of peace to some of us sounds strange.
Freedom is for all people and not just for some.

Immutable Advice

A Serious Message For Modern Times

This is the land of plenty in so many ways
That are not paid attention to nearly enough
By enough of the people for a solution
To be had. People look upon with derision
Those severely in need. We all know life is tough
For the many. With oneself is where concern stays.

Generations of the past faced problems galore.
Some advice is well taken, but most is ignored.
Those who will carry on will have challenges too.
Global warming and homelessness are but a few
Of the issues they will face as they move toward
A world that is more peaceful than it was before.

Lasting peace is based on the concept of oneness
Of all eight billion humans. I am a person…
Not a race or a country or a continent.
The human race is all that I can represent.
Epidemics and climate change make the world one
Albeit by brute force. Will they have some success?

We are one huge community… not several
Entities independent of one another.
The illusion of separateness causes war,
And the root of all evil corrupts evermore.
A big blast of enlightenment has to occur,
And it’s up to us only to say that it shall.
