2015 coming into 2016 ………we wish each other a Happy
Christmas, Happy Festive Season, Happy Holiday, whatever way we say it, it
means the same, sharing our good will and good wishes with all our Neighbours and our Neighbours are
everybody……
We have an unending stream of good will and good wishes but
there are many governments and mighty
people who muddy our stream, who almost
succeed in making hypocrites of us because we have let them off with so much
humbug, lying, eviction and killing, as they
wish their victims salvation even as the swords fall and the bombs explode……..
…..to think that we have allowed them to soil Christmas by
singing about it when Christmas for them
is at best a reluctant pause from spoiling
our dreams and lives …..the drones , probably the most cowardly weapons ever
invented…..millions of people made hopeless , wet, hungry,
stretching long lines with the sound of Jingle Bells in their ears and
the hymns of people sad at the homelessness of Christ and complacent about the homelessness of millions of refugees present and to come ---…..
ghosts of Christmas Present, the Ghosts
of Christmas Past, Ghosts of Christmas
inevitably to come………why do we let them
do it ?
Come Easter and we will celebrate ….celebrate …..the great
trek of the ancient Israelites to their promised land and wonder about what their descendants are doing with it…..
….. a sad woman or a
sad man will stand in our court listening to people swearing by Almighty God
that they will tell the truth about what other sad poor ones did….. what a good thing it would be to make governments and powerful people stand and swear by Almighty
God that they will never allow such people to be either sad or penniless again…….
Hopes, we are great people for hoping and without our hoping
the world would be even more dismal than the war-makers are making it…………they who
cannot think even of the great miracle of
Space without making war in it ,
Star Wars if you please, Space the
Magnificent is without meaning unless they make a battlefield of it, Heaven held no satisfaction
for them so they invented a War of the
Angels……..can evolution mean that human
beings will eventually shed their warrior brains just like they shed their
tails…………..?
Let’s wish each other a Happy Christmas ………..knowing that
our humblest wish will do more good to the world than all the richest missiles of the President and his
allies……..who so clearly are thinking in
pseudo-biblical terms of Armageddon and the final battle between good and evil ………in
which they must win because it is they and not us , or even God, who decide who
is evil and who is ……who is…..well, who is the opposite of evil, for they seem not to
have discovered yet what is actually
good……
May human beauty and all of Nature’s other beauties prevail…….even
through 2016 and beyond………………
