Their Time Has Come And Gone

Their Time Has Come And Gone

                       I

You can tell your political enemy

That you would just as soon shoot him

            between the eyes

As ever give in to him

(or her; that is to say:

'You cur')    but that approach

            to the matter 

                    is never

Going to get you anywhere

But deeper into conflict

                 with, essentially

Your own Self

                   since We Are

One Another, and therefore
On a higher level
Than we currently inhabit

Are One and the Same
(And to bring it further
Down to Earth, grounded
In daily life, instead
Of the larger reality
That we live and move
And have our being in: as one
Of our nation's mottoes has it:
'Out of Many, One').

                      What is there

To do, then?  Is there any way

Out of such a hole

Than digging one's way

Further into it??  to say

Into the deep shit???

There is an answer:

Demonstrate.  Demonstrate.

                                   Be

That which you would wish

To see.  

                And then

        and only then

Will you change the world.

                It will not happen

Otherwise.  

                     Raise

A new flag, unfurled

Before our very eyes

Together.

 So come on.  The Game
Is over.  The part of me
That is you
        can do
Better than this.
I challenge you
To Be.

'What is that, you say?

              The government

Broke the law

Regarding Obama's eligibility?

Well, do tell.

                       That is to say

But that is what governments do

All the time.

There is nothing new

In that crime.

                         Corruption

Is the name of the game

In this town.  

                       It is automatic

            in Baghdad

By the Potomac.

                              Take

Your righteous indignation

Elsewhere.  That

     and a quarter

                  will get you

A cup of coffee

Here. Hee hee.'

Well, no more.

              Limitless Truth -

Not Santa Claus, this time around -

Is coming to town.

               Yes, even

in Washington, D.C.

Move over, old hands

Of the way things have been

In this land

And these lands

Forever:

                 Your time

       has come

And gone.

                   The Sheriff

Is here, to break

             the back

Of corruption
  (and replace it
  with the quality
  of compassion)
                 and send it

To the Back of Beyond

Truly forever.

              You will never

At least in this Round, eat lunch

In this town again, you bunch

Of creeps, crawling 

         on your bellies

To whichever Master

Has the most money

To buy you off with

And, having taken it,

                      sold out

Your country.

Your days are over.

            The New Day

Has begun.

                 To operate
On the quality
Of Love.
              Your fist to fit
In that glove
Snugly
               as we meet
On our higher levels
Once again,
              the wiser
For the experience
Of separation
                   to bring
That knowledge back with us
For a larger purpose
Than simply our own.
                                 Love
And understanding:
                       that's what
          It has been
All about.  That,
And the sharing of
With each other
As One
Holy
Being.
