SPRING IN REVERSE

The flowers withered as the cold wind rushed through the meadow
birds and bees in confusion around the trees circling the barren shadows

Wasn't spring supposed to be a wondrous sight
The season of resurrected warmth and light

Yet how conflicting this sudden spring of society
completely contrary to nature's philosophy

Thousands in Arabia's darkest nights
reciting tales that do not warm the hearts
in search of a happy end
Yet finding themselves entangled by freedom robbing ideologies of others disguised as brothers


Meanwhile on the other continents politics of another time roam the stages
taking Democracy back to the dark mystifying Middle Ages

Many in high places endeavor to invoke the Spring of Division
Separating "commoners" from the "elite" through subtle selfish decisions


Raising the cost for education
removing the key to unlocking progress in manifold dimensions in those less fortunate
eradicating the source of strength guarding the undisputable God given rights to the meek
and even to the obstinate

Mankind's Spring in Reverse
erasing God's blessings through a curse

Yet through it all the defenders of Freedom stand strong
Looking for ways to reinstate values that seem gone


Flowers and trees still flourish through Nature's Spring
The sun keeps celebrating in midair as the awakening of life once more begins


Let us never endorse the oppression of God's creation
let the waves of God's Love flow from our hearts to every soul in every nation

In His image we were made
destined to live in His dignity Divine
from the very first Spring to the Infinity of God's never ending Time

Blessings and love in Christ,
Monique
