Analysis of Back to Eden
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Your earth
or mine
Something, said
in your mind
Running out of people,
places things
Or other worlds
to plunder
Our Home world view
Obscured
Sweet Jesus
Our only chance
is to
Continue to Endure
To keep hope alive
In the spirit pool
The place Beyond
Space-Time
Where once again
We jumpstart Eden
The well of
our common source
even with Sweet Jesus
As navigator
Phase shifting
back on course
Still evil shadows
remain
Placing
an ugly stain
On those
whose best efforts
To live with a good life force
Exists despite
Those whose dark choices
Mark them unworthy
Transcendentals
in the all
Those whose station
Is to reverse the course
And erase
the abomination
And
the minions
Left
without recourse
Attempt to
silence the voice
with Life
inside the Garden
Past incidence
aside
we know
your history
Will someday,
in heaven be tried
Corporeal beings
Spiritually carried asunder
Horrified screaming
as it fights against reality
To be determined
Tunnel visions
Drawn into the vortex
Turned Once more
Against us
Our common enemy
Is not black or white
Just evil
Whose presence among us
Does not present itself
by any means
Visual or mental
Its presence
Affecting us in all ways
Will haunt us
Even in our dreams
Still, we resist evil
We remain strong
Against the soulless beings,
Among us
We can read their heart
Trace
their footprints
Sense
their need
To overtake
and overwhelm
Beyond the usual reaction
We must resist
Know the evil
Reason it exists
How it lays waste
With the death knell
As Corruption festers
Its seduction persists
A Judas thirty pieces
Betrayed By its kiss
How it chooses
connection
By choice
The very same Gift
from The Creator as it
Facilitates reproduction
beyond our own need
And how to
Recognize Its presence
in our lives
By the character
of its seed
