Back to Eden

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



Your earth
or mine

Something, said
in your mind

Running out of people,
places things

Or other worlds
to plunder

Our Home world view
Obscured

Sweet Jesus
Our only chance

is to
Continue to Endure

To keep hope alive
In the spirit pool

The place Beyond
Space-Time

Where once again
We jumpstart Eden

The well of
our common source

even with Sweet Jesus
As navigator

Phase shifting
back on course

Still evil shadows
remain

Placing
an ugly stain

On those
whose best efforts

To live with a good life force
Exists despite

Those whose dark choices
Mark them unworthy

Transcendentals
in the all

Those whose station
Is to reverse the course

And erase
the abomination

And
the minions

Left
without recourse

Attempt to
silence the voice

Within humanity

that

Which Coincides

with Life
inside the Garden

Past incidence
aside

In absentia

we know
your history

Will someday,
in heaven be tried

Corporeal beings
Spiritually carried asunder

Horrified screaming
as it fights against reality

To be determined

Tunnel visions
Drawn into the vortex

Hellish images

Turned Once more
Against us

Our common enemy

Is not black or white
Just evil

Whose presence among us
Does not present itself

by any means
Visual or mental

Its presence
Affecting us in all ways

Will haunt us
Even in our dreams

Still, we resist evil
We remain strong

Against the soulless beings,
Among us

We can read their heart

Trace
their footprints

Sense
their need

To overtake
and overwhelm

The unwilling

Beyond the usual reaction
We must resist

Know the evil
Reason it exists

How it lays waste
With the death knell

As Corruption festers
Its seduction persists

A Judas thirty pieces
Betrayed By its kiss

How it chooses
connection

By choice
The very same Gift

from The Creator as it
Facilitates reproduction

beyond our own need

And how to
Recognize Its presence

in our lives

By the character
of its seed
