Whatever Happened to Love

By William S. Becker -

 

Whatever happened to love
We only see hatred and self-love
We forgot that showing hate, killing and greed
Weakens a nation and causes it to bleed

Whatever happened to brother helping brother
When did we stop caring for one another
When did another man's pain become not our concern
How much must we lose before we finally learn

We point our fingers and choose a side
While hatred slowly eats us from inside
We fight over who is wrong and who is right
While forgetting we are all standing in the same Light

A nation is not made strong by hate
Nor by deciding another man's fate
It grows strong when its people understand
That we rise together, hand in hand

For what good is wealth if our hearts become cold
What good is power when our brothers are sold
What good is winning if humanity must pay
And another piece of love disappears every day

We were never meant to live this way
Fighting each other day after day
We were given each other so we might see
That your life is connected to me

Perhaps that is what we have forgotten
Beneath everything spoiled and rotten
That the Creator gave us one another
Not as strangers, not as enemies—but as brothers

So before we speak another word of hate
Before another wound becomes too great
Maybe it is time we finally rise above

And remember...

Whatever happened to
LOVE

Return to your Heart

By William S. Becker -
Return to your Heart Insist and know the creator is one The creator is behind all that is done To use the evil and love that exists in your heart For the desire of bestowal what a start As you weigh the difference between them you strain For what you have found is a form of shame To go inside and from that prayer To find your group, and unite what’s their ARVUT

Emotions Rise and Fall

By William S. Becker -
Emotions rise and fall Like oceans squalls Tossing and turning Hearts a burning Where does it all lead Why is there so much greed When will it all end What is the message Nature sends Why is everything hidden from me Laying on the floor as my heart bleeds Urning to be one with nature who’s whole Uniting with the friends as we rebuild our soul Bringing joy back to Nature and her plan Unitedly raising Mann Placing everything up on a shelf As we learn to Love our Neighbor as Yourself.

a poem on The Purpose of Society -1 By Rabash

By William S. Becker -
We came as beasts, with teeth and claws, Each guarding self with iron laws. The bread of shame burned in our hand, We’d eat, then choke, on shifting sand. The world concealed, the Light withdrew, Fear whispered, “It’s not for you.” The ego laughed—its throne secure, “Take all you can, what’s mine is yours.” But one by one, we bent the spine, Annulled the “I,” the beast, the swine. Hitbatlut: I’m nothing, dust and breath, I choose this death to conquer death. Then hearts began to intertwine, Hitkalelut—your pain is mine. Your joy my song, your cry my prayer, No “I” remained, just love to share. The fire rose, no walls could stay, Hitpaalut—our souls would sway. The Shechina wept, then found her nest, Within the circle, love confessed. So brutal was the path we trod, To die as men, to live with God. Yet from the ashes, hearts above, We burned away… to unconditional love.
