My Master is a sword of Justice
That cuts deep into those who abuse power
My Master is the light of hope
That dispels the weariness of the abused
Giving them the strength to go on fighting
My Master is the voice of reason
Whose peerless words and loving tones
Strike
Into the hearts of the true
The courage to be victorious
Strike
Into the hearts of the brave
The resolution to fight through to the end
Strike
Into the hearts of the weak and oppressed
The energy to rise once again
Strike
Into the hearts of the bitter
The courage to try to love
Strike
Into the vacant hearts of the abusers
The terror of righteousness
My Master is the song of nations
Whose eager peoples relish each precious note
His paean, a song that awakens a new era
The song of the true disciple
Sung in tones of utter love
My Master is the eternal youth
Championing Justice and the Mystic Law
Courageously naming the abuses and the abusers
My Master is the custodian of humanity
The guardian of her future
Only My Master speaks the total and ultimate truth
Whilst giving all the means to win
My Master is the Wisdom of Ages
A Victor of the Human Condition
A poet, diarist, peacemaker and the greatest living teacher
My Master is the foundation of courage
The courage to speak the truth
Giving actual meaning and actual proof to the words ‘standing up'
My Master is the clarifier of principle
A rock upon which is built the eternal path of oneness
My Master is a Buddha
Saviour of Humanity
My Master is the most Fearless
The Boldest and the Truest being
My Master is the greatest man alive
I was not born to follow any other
My Master is resounding brilliance
My Master is astounding daring courage
My Master is the glaring feats of righteous faith
My Master is the soul of the Man I am becoming
And was born to become
My Master is my soul, My Heart, My Life
I give my life to My Master and
We continue the greatest mission as one.
Dedicated to my revered master
