70:1.12 5. Revenge was the motive for war when one tribe believed that a neighboring tribe had caused the death of a fellow tribesman. Mourning was continued until a head was brought home. The war for vengeance was in good standing right on down to comparatively modern times.

Revenge?
Revenge is nothing we should play.
It’s a game that does delay
Progress in the name of love.
Revenge will never help you solve.

Does it truly help your heart?
To take revenge may turn it dark.
A darkened heart may turn away
From the light of brand new days.

To look beyond, and then inside
Provides perspectives never tried.
We are more, please just believe.
There’s more to do than save the trees.

What we think is true and good,
Depends upon what’s understood.
Love and Faith in your Belief,
Reflect your soul when in defeat.

That’s when we best know ourselves.
When in defeat, our depths we delve.
We must find our new direction
When thwarted in our plans for action.

Accept the path that God presents.
It’s there for you, use common sense.
There’s nothing left for you to do.
The path of God will show you Truth.

Thank You, Father, Your direction
Will lead this world to its perfection.
Many years, perhaps eons
Before our imperfection’s gone.

101:7.3 Presently new systems of values come into existence; new formulations of principles and standards are achieved; habits and ideals are reshaped; some idea of a personal God is attained, followed by enlarging concepts of relationship thereto.
The Trail
The Holiday has come today.
The sound of fireworks last night played.
Loud booming late last night.
To sleep through that, was quite the fight.

Might as well give in tonight.
Go outside and see the sights.
Smell the fumes left in the air
And talk to all who gather there.

Try to live the here and now.
Fix yourself with good morale.
Then do what you can do the best.
Serve this world, don’t be its guest.

Service one can do for others.
As you serve, you find we’re brothers.
That experience is unmatched.
The plan of God has been unhatched.

I think you probably get my drift,
If through my words you truly sift.
The way ahead where we survive,
Is found inside where God resides.

The God inside Christ did reveal.
Commune inside with your appeals.
Father Communion for a season
Can improve the way we reason.

Thank You, Father, where You reside,
Is a place where I can’t hide.
I must honestly look in,
And, see myself, and where I’ve been.
