if the love of money is the root of all evil

then forgiveness is the root of all life for

its stem should willingly pierce through

the hardness of anyone's heart & mind


like a javelin a green tender shoot like

a tree piercing through solid granite

crumbling & shattering it into pieces of

sand & eventually into soil dissolving

into the wasteland of forgetfulness


o that we could truly believe this bath

of cleanliness & purity what a difference

it would make of the world's ignorance &

lies insinuating & combating groups & races

against each other in order to perpetuate a


steady cash-flow of silver & gold & money in sin

called justice ignoring the facts that all sides have

fallen short of the glory of God & those who continue

to seek to be special should know what special calls for

a hardness & a suffering in life leading to crucifixion


however this masked banditry too simply is laid

aside & discounted giving way to all sorts of

bullying & thieving of others without excuse of

what is long since dead save for the vengeance

of those who will not let go & give way to forgive


o my Jesus forgive us for the many sins & offences
against the sacredness of thy person in the flesh gmt/1984
