We grow

Adalia Bani Amatee 1968 (New Jersey)

WE GROW

From strength to strength our souls have grown
Devoted to a cause well known
By men who fight to save a ken
Imprisoned by the thoughts of men
& That our lives be not in vain
We ask not wealth, nor food, nor fame,
But let us help a single soul
To live for life and not for gold,
And no longer to respect
Those who shun the intellect,
They hide the truth where none can find;
Manipulating precious minds...
If life was not for us to choose
I guess we'd have nothing to lose,
But the laws of man they can not bind;
We serve one Law one Love Devine.....
