A Temple is desecrated
07/01/2019
When all other means of care are gone
And WOMAN lays her body bare
A Temple is desecrated
Where knowledge is withheld and suppressed
And MIND bares its ignorance
A Temple is desecrated
Where opioids and syringe are the only urges
And BRAIN is left dysfunctional
A Temple is desecrated
When human actions leave all creatures vulnerable
And EARTH cannot heal itself
A Temple is desecrated
When creation itself is misunderstood
And CREATOR cannot be found
A Temple is desecrated

So so different and a super work - as a race why do we continually disgrace ourselves?
Thank you Michael, you found the temple
Desecration abounds, when man creates a religion to gain power to take from the land....
..... does the real creator need a temple......
.... is not that temple a desecration in itself.......
You are absolutely right, for such are my beliefs.
Here though, temple is a metaphor for that which is in BOLD.
Thnx so much for your comments
All points you outline here are valid and truly need to be highlighted - thanks for this poetic reminder Suresh.
We desecrate our most cherished possessions, and we know not ...
Thnx
this is not only quite different.. it is a poetic education in its own write... I practice daily in a temple that I take with me wherever I go.... and true...... Neville
I have no desire, anymore, to go to temples, for I find no solace there, and so I meditate. Maybe, just maybe, one day.....
Thnx, my friend
I meditate daily too & therein I find my temple.... Neville
Thanks SERESH ~ for sharing an important TRUTH about the 21st C ! Nothing is sacred anymore and as well as the things you mention SACRED SITES ~ such a Churches & Mosques & Temples are increasingly violated WORLDWIDE ! Your reference to the human Bosy is interesting ! The BIBLE (The Word of GOD for Christians) states *Are you not aware that YOUR BODY is the TEMPLE of the HOLY GHOST* The inference being that if we abuse our Bodies & Minds with Drugs ~ excess Alcohol ~ Pornography ~ Extramaritial Sex etc etc we are offending the HOLY GHOST who indwells Christians ! We can all desicrate our Bodies ~ our Minds ~ our Brains ~ Planet earth and ultimately the Creator HIMSELF !
Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
