Empire verses Shalom





Empire seeping, creeping, defining skewing vision,
                                                        All about Control and acquisition.


Story writer ever wooing and pursuing,
 undoing brokenness
leading us through the wilderness.


Still, Domination spilling into all creation,
 laying a false foundation in all the nations.
To get , to build, to hold onto our aspirations.


Repenting, lamenting and  truly representing.
 A new narrative given, To be turned upside down, 
worldly views no longer contending.
Kingdom come for his glory,
Reorient to the true story, widows, orphans, oppressed and poor
Read the words written before...
Mankind's greatest failure?
The lack of Amor.

Trusting the author, he is our freedom fighter.
When we like his son dismantle selfishness, 
empire to be undone.
Thirsty and hungry crying out
How now will we give account?
