Over 200 countries' flags..
most not soft pastels
of rainbow harmony.. but
harsher colors..

symbol of the spilled blood
of innocents. It is
the flame..
of
light and peace.

to defend us.
YHWH sent the Red Sea
after the Pharoah's men
Abba multiplied the light
of candles.
God used Joshua's horn
to bring down
the walls of Jericho.
Krishna's Pandavas
chose Him.
The bad Kauravas
chose His army.
Nothing is Caesar's
Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's
and to God what is God's said
Jesus. .. leaving it to us

He would not use his mind
as a laser of elimination
but as a healing
sphere
of illumination.

of God...no flag stained

him and the sun.
....no flag grid between
hid mind and that of God.
Only 1 master.. his own conscience
wed to the Higher Power.

shears
in the light
of the gentle morn
