All Things Spiritual (Cor.) Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Two ideals, two dreams, nay three: Love, Freedom,
Wisdom - how priority is determined illustrates how
much love we have for one another, how important
freedom is and how much wisdom we have; there-
fore Wisdom comes first to determine which of the
other two should be next - for me this is Love

Freedom is third best - the saddest thing is that the
world has no wisdom, neither the liberated West nor
the Medieval East; lack of it makes the West revel in
the freedom to insult everything, even the most Holy
Ideas or Beings, all Religions - everything cherished
is attacked like Western swine trampling pearls

Celebrating Freedom without Wisdom knowing that
those with ideals will protect their beautiful ideas &
without Love manifesting as respect for each other
and our unique theories, war is inevitable; when
modern Western technologies cut straight through
the mystique and teachings of different nations

Youngsters like ancient gods will be inspired to die
for their ideals, Odysseus and Hercules will emerge
to slay those infidels who trample their Sanctuaries &
prophets will rise with Commandments by which the
evil of unrestrained Freedom will be condemned, the
West idolises Freedom to the extent that all other

Values and morals are destroyed, the Logic of the
Renaissance and the Reason of Quantum Physics
taught these enlightened men that human thought
is the universe's origin - now they heap contempt
on everyone believing in the Divine creation of our
wonderful planet - they have been warned by

These idealistic youngsters that the Western world's
cynical contempt for Gods, Prophets and Holy Books
will be avenged by glowing, innocent, trusting young
hearts - horrified by the abominable contempt shown
for everything that confers meaning and delight on life;
though these young warriors also lack Wisdom, their

Love and Enthusiasm for Values and Principles make
them shine high above the decadent West which does
not even respect their own quality of life, much less that
of anyone else - while the Believer's Love for all Things
Spiritual fills their lives with sweet incense…
