" THE JEALOUS UNITY "

Religion,
Being an ingredient
In the glue, of human
Social endeavor,
A joyous explosion
When confined within
The honesty,
Of the truest hearts
Born,
From natures heather
And on display
In lavender rites, and
Ceremonies
So strangely delivered.....

Imagine,
Faith so long ago
When the worlds leaders
Were medicine men,
And the Churches leaders
Poets,
Where but, the true God
Is a jealous God
And his worship will tolerate
No, impositions mixture
For
The fruits of unity
Lay, in simplistic resonance
And the longing lilt,
Of gloriously naïve light
Like,
That  which
Is gloriously alive,
In the life-force
Of
You and me......
