Envy of the Undefiled
One merely longs
for love
at night
the other journeys inward to the light
and these be brothers
...two will fight
confined within the muses' sight
Can world keep
world
from mundicidious
mutual death
in kindred lusts of mortal breath ?
when only few
would fain decline,
if ever aught was given means and time
...as life
unfolding
will reveal
it is not always
as it seems,
the truth
as ever held within
to issue forth
within our dreams
...does love
survive the vapid claw
when time-bourne destiny
sweet purity destroys ?
...the whole
insidious by design
or deftest sheer cold force
of soul ?
Nay!
even time denies the night
decay enshrines the sure demise
of darkened powers' profit play 'gainst all who loved beneath these skies...
could Abel save ignoble Cain
from destiny of envy's pain
by fighting for his brother's heart
defeating life's illusions
... at the start ?
Nay!
brothers fight
because they have forgotten love,
why wars below and peace above,
but strong appear weak
to the weak
... love surely nothing does contend
perfected ever
in the meek
...few know,
yet rightly,
of the end,
that all is solved
for those who seek
The inner truth,
fair in the end,
defines which brother fights himself ,
which stands alone without defence
..which
purity restored
and which
impure of strife will die
in envy of the
dream
of life ...
" ...Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?..."
Proverbs 27:4
The poem reflects the 'living parable' of scripture
where Jesus and Satan are represented repeatedly by brothers
[repeatedly in successive LIVING generations of the Hebrews] ,
but some folks see the parallel with sibling rivalry in modern families also ...
the point is the resolution by love in the end...
after death of this world over the conflict between love's stronger power
and the will of evil's more immediate ,but short-term power
[for a while soon enveloping almost all mankind ,
bar a few [Matt 7:14]chosen who must remain undefiled
for sake of creating the kingdom for the redemption later of the many [Rev 7:9-10]
