Love does not flourish,
nor does wisdom thrive
in the long shadow of fear.
Fear is not reverence.
Fear is not the beginning of wisdom.
Only they who do willful harm
to the innocent have cause to fear.
The cruel reap a reward
they shall not enjoy.
It is not I who change, but you.
You who are now ready to understand
rather than merely believe.
They say I command evil be done,
that their own inhuman actions
may seem justified.
I am loving and wise. To profit the guilty
by harm to the innocent is not.
It is from your own judgment
that you most require saving.
No longer seek to move
forward while looking behind.
No matter how loudly, long or often
a lie is told; it does not become true.
They aspire to submission
without question.
Trained animals do the same.
None are made guilty by another’s act;
nor can any be made pure, thereby.
Do not bully the helpless,
nor swindle the honest.
Do not enrich the corrupt,
nor impoverish the destitute.
May none bask in luxury
while children starve.
Slavery, in any form, is an abomination.
To free a slave is admirable and
to end slavery altogether is miraculous.
That same help you have provided
or harm done to anyone, you have
done to yourself and to Me also.
Become the awakening
conscience of this world.
