“Callous West by Maisie Aletha Smikle
Callous West
Always taking from the East
Putting the East to the test
Coveting its very best
And ignoring its worse
If the West must have the best
What happens to the East
The North and the South
Ahh... Says the West
The East, the North and the South
Will simply get what's left
The West wants all of the best
The West wants to reign
The West is hungry for a crown
So the West weds a crown
Hoping for an overthrown of the crown
Callous West storms the earth
Stealing lands that weren't theirs
Taking homes that they did not own
Shattering families assets and heritages
Families who donate taxes
On every meager expense
Families that gifted charitable taxes
With every single purchase of a tiny candy bar
Families that donate taxes for the welfare of the West
So that the West
Could invest
Eat, shelter and have some rest
Callous West raced to the galaxies
Wishing they could have it all for themselves
And claim the galaxy as theirs
Then charge the East, the North and the South
For admission
Transportation
Space accommodation
And Earth Watching Entertainment
=================================
"Eli Eli lama sabachthani" cried my Lord to my LORD.
Jesus, an Easterner uttered these words in His spoken language whilst He was hanging on the cross for all of the world.
Love the Lord with all your heart. You are His people. Whatever Jesus is, we must desire to become. We are Easterners by origin and by God's adoption because Jesus is an Easterner.
Ephesians 1:5
God predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will.”
