It’s not good we say
Things are very bad
Are we just observers
Of things that make us sad …
“He shouldn’t, nor should she”
Thoughts usher from our mind
Conclusions that are hard-wired
And easy enough to find
The dark ages long ago
Had a singular foundation
Faith and hope were lost
Judgment sacrificed creation
Faith and hope find homage (*1)
In a heart and mind uncluttered
By conclusions drawn and quartered
And negativity unmuttered
Yet, everything’s a process
And negativity has it place
Collected from our history
The baggage that we’ve faced
A part we play together
In making the kettle clean
By addressing ourselves and others
With intent to pluck and preen (*2)
Intention carries a heavy weight
According to the law
So, as embodied spirits
We must hear it as our call
To observe and see what’s out there
And realize it lives within
Then forgive our participation
In believing it a sin
A sin, says Mary Baker Eddy
Constitutes erroneous thinking
Cutting off our connection
Our power thus is shrinking
Remember Jesus assertion
Where two or more are gathered
Asking in my name
Creation will be slathered (*3)
From a Christian ear to ear
Think of what you’re saying
Intention behind the words
You’ll find someday betraying.

of mayonnaise.
