To Create a Wonder out of Man

Tears are there to melt away

All the pain of yesterday

They turn the pages of man’s story

Reinstating love’s full glory

Illuminating Life’s great plan

To create a wonder out of Man

Paradise is near at hand

For felon, judge and brigand

But hooded eyes must open wide

And be a witness from inside

There to see what has been done

To nature and our fellow man

Pointing fingers do not serve

And cause an erring soul to swerve

Back to live in darkened hollow

Fear resisting every shadow

Trust in One who knows the way

And leads the soul to light of day

Heaven is just perchance

For those who deal in resistance

Hell believes its own intention

Interference and intervention

Its path is wide and paved in stone

Cut from souls who walk alone

Active self comes at a price

Binding man in seven vice

Wounded heart and unjust law

Corrupt mind and hardened jaw

Shadow brings abuse of power

And man’s solution comes by war

Enlightened Man finds armistice

And pure soul comes to paradise

When at last there comes surrender

One by one each soul will enter

Joy will ring from music lute

In the temple of the Absolute
