Moving on
Day in and day out
From moment to moment
Nothing left out
Toward fulfillment of purpose
Already permitted
Keyed into nature
Perfectly fitted
Truth is what is
It’s what we face
Not always what’s desired
What occupies real space
What we must deal with
Or ignore or deny
Yet in final analysis
It stands, not the lie
That we tell or believe
How we’d rather things be
No the truth stands firmly
The lie has to flee
Before us
Future disrobes
Baring herself
With no shame or remorse
Placing before us
What we need see
Naked truth
Nude reality
Bashfully frightened
Ashamedly we observe
Oft times joyously
Never a retreat
True destiny
We must meet
That, once hidden
Comes forth
Into open view
Stripping veils
Off blinded eyes
Once muddled sounds
Now ring in clear
And please or beguile
The listening ear
Whether you’re
Ready or not
Reality makes its debut
Peeling back
Make-believe’s
Assuming cover up
And showing what
Really is real
Breaking open
The deceiving seal
Baring all
That’s always been
Tho’ hidden from view
As tho’ absent
Stripped now
Open and clear
What some had fear
Would be told
And yet others feared
Never would
Now open
–To all bared
People are saying that the time is at hand
For the total destruction of mortal man
That the signs of the times clearly relate
Judgment Day can no longer wait
When e’er they are called upon for some needed work
They come not out for it or else they shirk
Their excuse is that time is at its ends
So it’s useless to strive to make amends
Oh the reasoning they’re using to cover their faults
To pacify themselves and write responsibility off
Shall rise up and greet them in a hideous ugly way
For all things are open on the Judgment Day
Since the very beginning
Creation has been approaching its conclusion
It’s naturally closer now
There’s no need for confusion
The righteous Servants of the Almighty
Have no need to fear
An end far in the future
Or an end that’s very near
Stay ready
To avoid having to rush to get so
This simple principle
The wise people know
They understand
They’re not totally in control
They contribute what they can
To complement the whole
Unexpected turns
Still catch them off guard
But they’re never among those
Who take these turns too hard
They realize
The tests that are always at bay
And that passing
Is not to merely have your own way
But to make your way
The way to maximize
From any occurrence
To bag the best possible prize
Not to be overwhelmed
And fall into despair
But to keep moving on
Thus successfully we fare
Where unknown lurks
And we can never go
Mystery, intrigue, and fear
Challenge us in what we know
We dream dreams
Of what is beyond our reach
On bended knees
We oft times beseech
The Awesome
Compelling “I Am”
Looming also beyond our senses
To allow us Peace
And adequate Defenses
To keep ourselves from harm
And steadily moving on
In this life and beyond
Here and when we’ve gone
Moving on
Moving on
This is the object plain
As far as you can go
In smooth and rough terrain
Even beyond the perceived reality
To higher planes of truth
As far as can be traveled
Moving on
Relaxed
— aloof
Not being held back by
Concocted barriers
Neither time Nor matter
Nor space
Nor any slave making devices
Moving on
Throughout this place
And space beyond
As far as is possible to go
Into the outer reaches
Above all around and below
Into the locked up treasure houses
Creation’s secrets to learn
To extract the benefits
For the greatest good of all
To advance
— Moving on
— To earn
The salary
That’s been provided here for us
For the ones who strive and think
For the bounties are here
For the ones who work hard
And hereafter also
For the ones who shrink
Back from inhuman treatment of others
And temper their working
With civilized morality
And take care of the weak with mercy
And cause the strong to move with humility
Moving on
Is the challenge that faces us
And bids us toward improving our lot
That beckons us onto the universal stage
To come with all that we’ve got
To work to turn round failing values
To boost the faith in decency
To expose the weakness of ruthlessness
And show its supports
Which are really in what’s fair and just
That thieves depend on honesty among themselves
While being dishonest to the rest
So justice and honesty and truth
Are the principles that are supporting
Wherever support exists
Nothing has support but reality
Falsehood may seem to stand
But the illusion is in deceiving
Simple sleight of hand
Manipulation of body and mind
Along with manipulation of soul
All but the very elect
Give falsehood truth’s special role
They fail to see the scheme
They fail to break the encrypted code
They labor trapped by hidden language
Stressed with circuit-overload
Truth has to come recognized
To enlighten – brighten the way
Then those not bent on wrong-doing
Will easily see the way
For moving on
Moving on with deftness
Unshackled by the menacing death
That plagues those with yet beating hearts
Open eyes, movement and breath
Moving on toward eternal salvation
With due speed and with ease
Victors over the evil-one,
Poverty and disease
Moving on
Life’s main objective
Toward completion and excellence
Not mired in heightened sensation
Moving on
With balanced sense
Where to from here
The question rings out
What is the reason
What’s this all about
The answer echoes clearly
Back to those alive
Moving on
In truth and excellence
Is that for which we strive
So clear is the writing
Placed upon the wall
And through out the creation
Readers will not fall
They read in the name of the Creator
Who created
And as the Creator designed to be read
And through this proper fulfillment of purpose
To eternal salvation we’re led
Moving on
