Erupt
Make and consume
edgy memes,
manifestos of destruction
dance on your own grave
fill them with
echoes of your
whirlwind hate,
broadcast them into
the voids that fill your life
the chat group
Video group
Friends unseen group,
similar minds
that cluster and harden
fears take hooks
take hold
take souls
Take minds
take honour
Until
one morning
evolving hate
erupts.
What does it achieve?
Nothing...
Makes nothing
destroys little
For this mind
restless soul
does
not understand
Destruction is
a dead force
Their own mark
on the world
temporary
Their own
birth and death
temporary.
Only One
in the defeat of death
life's ultimate destruction,
Only one in the triumph
of love can bring hope,
A resurrected life
bringing life
Real change
for the surreal,
Peace is only a
permanent promise
kept by-
Jesus,
found only in
the person of peace-
Jesus,
The light in the darkness
Fully defeating hate-
Jesus,
the restorer
neighbourhood carpenter
who came to save-
Jesus,
God's skinned
passion, mercy, freedom-
Jesus,
The powerful name
A light that
Shifting shadows
are changed by-
Jesus,
A true friend
the first unshakeable friend
truth of God's relationship
with races and earth's people-
Jesus.
Starting Thoughts: Following the Christchurch Mosque shootings (terrorism) I wrote this as part of my reflections and processing of the event. Can we not just allow God's love to be the core of who we are?
