Refining Fire

It's often hard for us to see
Why others hate, so religiously...
"Did I not die for this to cease?
To calm your soul, with my world of peace?"

Now there is, no real tomorrow...
Today is filled, with heartfelt sorrow...
"Is this your vision, of my love?
To release my Spirit, like a dove?

Or shall we choose to hold on tight
While Infinite Justice, does what's right?
For Alpha Ape, is under law
Until it's fulfilled, within us all!"

Smile! Take heart! Wipe away your tears...
Omega Man's sword, has seized our fears!
"I am creating, a New Earth
Hateful Apes, will find their second birth!"

And on that day, compassion reigns!
Liberties morning shouts its refrain:
"Refined by fire; Happy faces!
Our new, kind, world! Friendly embraces!"

Prayerfully dedicated to those fighting terrorism
and those rescuing the world from every extreme,
unjust, or exclusive form of political & religious
fundamentalism.
