The Meek Inherit the New Earth

THE MEEK ‘AWAKEN THE FOOL’ TO INHERIT THE NEW EARTH

 

I close my eyes,

I cast my drift net around the world,

For there are schools of thought,

Unquestioned,

Rules imposed,

Uncontested,

Democracy is caught up in a coral reef,

Bleached by a crown of thorns,

As many are sacrificing to comply,

As the pie shrinks,

Prosperity is replaced by survival,

Faces forlorn and worn out,

Lines etched in a map of a hard life,

Of excessive demands without checks and balances,

The scales of justice suddenly tip over,

As tipping points are breached,

Whales are beached,

For we are out to sea,

Having lost all the keys,

Circular keys are ports with no calls,

Are we going to fall?

 

This is a wake up call,

Can you answer the call?

Are you deeply listening?

Are you waking up or do you feel you fall?

 

Have you noticed time has sped up?

The spinning wheel is a digital highway,

The higher way spins the tapestry,

For one cuts their cloth to measure,

Many seduced by instant pleasure,

But what of patience in the face of a busy life?

What of abstinence in the face of solitude?

What of positive attitude when all are run by fears?

Tears for fears or laughter and cheers?

 

Do you know programs download on the net then you flick?

Seeking instant gratification to fill the gaps,

To connect with the world,

To feel entertained,

As life can be a strain.

 

Do you know old foxes are cunning as they tel you the news?

Horror, murder, terrorism, disasters, corruption,

Is the news true?

Does it feel good for you?

 

Is the world a dangerous place or a happy place?

What if you found your happy place?

Would you go there?

Would you care to find that channel?

 

Did you know what you think about you bring about?

Where energy flows focus goes?

Where focus goes energy flows?

As the channel you select,

Has an effect,

On your future.

 

Is it a future shock or to take stock of your life?

And create it the way you want it,

Where others do not define who you are,

Where you trust your inner remote

without control,

Turning off

what doesn’t serve you,

Turning on

to the right channel,

That opens your world to laughter, joy and future insights,

To chat with neighbours,

To meet someone knew on the bus, train or on the street,

To find people are just like you…

Trapped and uncertain,

Fearful and cautious,

On the treadmill unable to find the exit,

 

As you must do the right thing,

But is it right when it feels wrong?

Is it wrong when it feels right?

 

Is the free way a dead end?

Or is it the way of freedom?

 

Can you get this at the end of a gun?

Is happiness in a war zone?

 

Is truth in winning or living?

Can you buy your way to it?

 

Is it freedom from poverty?

Is poverty free?

 

What of freedom from fear?

A security system,

Risk management,

FEAR Is fear false evidence appearing real.

 

What of freedom from loneliness?

When aloneness is to know thyself and be true,

Is freedom meaninglessness?

What does it mean to be free?

What of homelessness?

Is a home where the heart is?

Is it to discover home is where your hat is?

To discover life is free dominion,

To realise to own nothing is freedom from burdens.

For you can sit, stand and lie down,

Perhaps this is all we do,

What if to BE or not to BE is the real question?

What would you BE when you grow up?

For to grow is to know you don’t know,

To be open is to look up from you iPhone,

To live fully is to discard your computer,

To let go of the digital highway to realise it is the side track,

Leading you to where others want you to go,

It is not there to serve you as kindness,

It is to profit from your compliance,

Did you know?

 

For to break all addictions is the real freedom,

To walk in this world but not be of it is to lose attachment,

For the catchment is not the dam wall,

It is the lowest place that holds sustenance,

It is to stay below ego,

As above so below.

It is to know real freedom lives in your smile,

It is to walk a mile in another’s moccasins,

It is to forgive those who trespass against you,

It is to dance with your enemies and feel for the truth,

As ruthlessness brings all down to basics.

For the simple truth,

Is to live in the moment,

As the power of now,

To know only this hour is the moment of truth,

As we are one minute to midnight.

All bets are off on stock exchanges,

As you cannot print money and win,

For the spinning wheel is Russian roulette,

Taking risks with millions of lives is a gamble,

As $350 trillion digits disappear over night,

Sun spots are not ink bots,

But natural outbursts as the mass coronial inquests busts the banks,

Boom and bust are no longer normal cycles,

The walls on the street will come down,

As humpty dumpty has a big fall,

For all the kings horses and all the kings men,

Dumped stocks never to see them again.

 

Cyber networks evaporated as if by magic,

To enter a global drift net,

A net adrift,

For what is real currency when all are avatars,

Yet the real avatars are indigenous not digital,

When you listen to the willow of ancient knowledge,

Can you hear voices from the ancient past?

Can you cast out to pick up signals of monumental change?

For angels are hidden in rubrics cubes and riddles.

Do you know the sound of one hand clapping?

Can you succeed only with another’s approval rating?

Is winning remembering who you really are or buying the latest car?

Is oil burning by waging wars to truly win in climates of change?

For to turn to a new page we must unlearn all we know,

To know we don’t know is the beginning of wisdom,

What do you really know about life?

What do you really feel about happiness?

Where will you BE 5 years from now?

For every decision is a vote for the future,

And we are counting the votes,

For in this election either all win or all lose,

For it is not to vote for what is popular,

It is not to choose who appears strong,

It has nothing to do with tax cuts or government spending,

It is to sing your own song and vote with your feet,

Realising does this represent you?

Are you ready to cut consumption as it no longer functions?

Are you willing to spend your time alone or make time for spending with friends,

For when you go within your do not go without,

Is this your calling card?

Are you with the CIA?

Citizen Initiated Action is the town crier calling.

For all to Awaken the Fool,

For to step off the cliff is to act before you think,

For to fall is to remain asleep,

To awaken is to know you cannot fall,

And this is the call to say,

The meek inherit the new earth.
