You Can Not Own What You Did Not Create...Poem

Ok--well here it is...my first poem written during the Fast. I've posted it at my new Pupil of the Eye site here.

If you are a Pupil who writes poetry or reflections or short stories, I would love to check 'em out for possible posting at the site.

I also found these lyrics for a Pupil of the Eye song by Phil Morrison. You can check it out here.

"Know ye that by "the world" is meant your unawareness of Him Who is your Maker, and your absorption in aught else but Him. The "life to come," on the other hand, signifieth the things that give you a safe approach to God, the All-Glorious, the Incomparable. Whatsoever deterreth you, in this Day, from loving God is nothing but the world. Flee it, that ye may be numbered with the blest. Should a man wish to adorn himself with the ornaments of the earth, to wear its apparels, or partake of the benefits it can bestow, no harm can befall him, if he alloweth nothing whatever to intervene between him and God, for God hath ordained every good thing, whether created in the heavens or in the earth, for such of His servants as truly believe in Him. Eat ye, O people, of the good things which God hath allowed you, and deprive not yourselves from His wondrous bounties. Render thanks and praise unto Him, and be of them that are
truly thankful."

( Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 276)
