Retaliation

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

Oh, it would be so easy to fall for that
To spread the hate in the world
It grows so fast all on its own
It needs no incentive
It stands silently smirking
Making plans with itself as it stands solo
It's so jealous of the Light
Where people are genuinely loving
Their glow is evident for all to see
Some are blessed to be in the Light
Others fear it, for it lies not
It believes in truth, honor, justice and love
You need only give your problems to the Light
And let it be, go on your way, look back not
All will be taken care of
For the highest good of all involved
Divinity is above our understanding
The Light hurts no one
The Light is truth
The Light of honorable
The Light is just
You need only trust it
Fear not for it will revive you
Retaliation is for sinners, not saints
Love has no end in the Light
The Light keeps on shining
You need only see the sun and the moon to know that
And while some believe in the big bang
Maybe, just maybe
God used that to get our attention
It had to be louder than our sorrows
But louder than that still is the beauty before us
The awes of nature
The roaring of the water
Be still and you can hear the Light
As it passes through the leaves
Sending messages to all who stop by it
Humanity's road is no competition for the Light
Let your eyes feast upon the daylight
And know that when darkness falls
It is the Light that overcomes 
For no darkness can ever over shadow the beauty of the Light
Don't waste your time on retaliation
Spend your time instead, in the comfort of Divine Light.
