If man can help himself
he would have helped himself
a long time ago
but man is trapped
in a duality
that is so easily imbalanced on one side
which is that of darkness
how so you may say
how was a conclusion
leaning on to the negative
arrived at
in a world of duality
where both light and darkness
should have had an equal pull on all things?
If it is not in truth
leaning towards the negative,
why then the corruption
that follows all things born of the flesh?
why is death the fate
of all men after his birth?
Children are born with infirmities
and sickness follows man
all the days of his life
til the grave
It's as though there is but an appointed time
given him
to live
to choose
to be redeemed
Before a final destiny is reached
A destiny that has only been delayed
so he can be lifted up
so he can avoid the complete fall
where he has been heading to all along...
‘However greatly the soul itself labours, it cannot actively purify itself so as to be in the least degree
prepared for the Divine union of perfection of love, if God takes not its hand and purges it not in that dark fire.
-St.John of the Cross
