We tell each other:
Stop stewing about happy-go-lucky
fiends; they will shrivel like scorched grass.
Bank on God; do good work; enjoy Earth’s gifts;
love God and be free of want.
See God’s Spirit brightening all we do
like sunbeams at dawn and noon.
Hold still for God, jumpy minds:
listen; wait; breathe in God’s Spirit.
Stop stewing over wealthy scoundrels;
anger cooks our own goose, boils off goodness.
To God’s humble dependents
Earth is bequeathed in Peaceful Abundance
after greedy crooks abscond.
Wars displace and maim poor friends;
ruthless leaders destroy good citizens;
their bombs kill their own children.
God’s Love Power trumps coercion.
Though God-fighters flash, they will fizzle,
drowned in debt—while God-lovers keep giving—
joyous, vibrant and healthy.
Elders say they have never seen
kind people lonely or their kids hungry.
Watch people who do good deeds:
there is a bright future for Peacemakers—
in the trenches, then Home Free with God.
