Is this ‘manly’ or even attainable?
Given time with desire

Even sustainable?

Letting go of anger igniting violence
into blazing battles totally flammable

A goal concrete?… Or in my neighborhood
My ‘fame’ to descend into categories labeled, me, ‘laughable’ or more degrading–‘shameful?’

I’d proven before my valor before all
with knife, gun… Terrorized–many,
to death them befall

If not in subjection to my ‘kingly’ call.
My presence ‘great’ even if statued ‘small’.

An equalizer I’d became. Obedience demanded.
Authority claimed

Until one day I felt a need to change

whether when confined by bars real
or in mind

mentally chained.

My heart felt touched by humility.

I found myself detained in actions
by newly sought ‘honesty’. Though in my own capability

I walked owned streets in crippling ‘hypocrisy’.

What triggered my desire to learn
about peace, not war?… Gone–a flagrant disdain against ‘truth’ to spurn?

An ardent wish to earn
‘Love’… from a Father found

Whose existence
I’d began to slowly discern.

Now, a future promised mankind
I wanted to obtain.

Eternity
among ‘brothers’ honored
by unification of purpose to remain

instead of warring against personal territories proclaimed ‘mine’ arrogantly

When a Creator designed this land grand
upon which many a person’s blood did this sadly our soil stain.

He gave it generously as a ‘gift’ to mankind.

Those,
who in love and respect
prayed and acted honorably

in imitation of
The Christ
who came to earth in behalf of his Father,

to spread ‘Good News’ of God’s Kingdom
by demonstrating an end to illness, famine, death
showing ‘Love’ reclaimed.

Yes, this kingdom government
will end violence, hate, hypocrisy.

Bring back to earth perfection
by ‘Theocracy’ retained.

Will you too educate yourself forever
about this government
capable of eliminating war?

Root out inner demons waging conflicts internally maintained

By ‘walking in integrity’ and constantly thinking upon glorious Jehovah God–The Almighty?

Let Him fight for your victory… From ‘haughty’ actions can you learn to refrain?

Yes!… There exist countless examples
ancient to now

Of worthy ones devoted
to speaking upon… Jah’s Holy Name.
