It is an interesting parallel that Jewish people
are seen as the “middle-persons” of life.
They have been and are powerful bankers,
scientists, statesmen, Hollywood directors and performers,
Abraham, Moses, Maimonides, Paul,
Many believe a Jew is the bridge to our salvation!
One cannot get more middleman than that! Amen!
A bridge we have collectively failed bearing to cross.
We do not need middlepersons in our lives, this separates,
this simply divides: we need to resolve with one intent — life.
We need to quit building bridges to nowhere
that ideally stimulate human industry,
and instead cross the bridge together
that leads to for all a better life. Divinity in humanity.
A house divided cannot stand.
Three against two, two against three,
thousand(s), million(s), billions(s),
it is time to mend the house of Abraham and Lot.
Since we have outgrew our hunting-gathering villages,
we have outgrew face-to-face relations,
We now need lenders, contractors, insurance, and lawyers,
bridging gaps between production and the laborers.
Instead of working together, we work in groups or alone.
For a price, for a profit, our time together is spent.
Nowhere to call home except that which we bought with money.
Our interpersonal relations are as bankrupt,
as the money that guides them.
Helping for a fee, cosmetic surgery,
“smart” glasses, ten thousand dollar diamond wedding rings:
vanity.
Seven billion people divided,
divided by tribe, by nation, by social rank;
when we cross the bridge of life,
there will be neither Jew nor Gentile,
no rich nor poor, no us and no them:
there will only be humanity with one intent!
An intent that will take all the money in the world to buy:
Life.
The only middleman we ever needed we killed,
the gift he brought no amount of money could ever buy.
It is time we resurrected this man in our lives,
accepting Christ as Savior in action not simply in words.
I plant the wheat here in Washington, Keith helps me harvest,
Richard maps out transportation, Yogi-One ensures quality,
Ruth facilitates distribution, Char4 delivers goods to homes:
not one of us needs a dime, and your child’s tummy is full.
We wake up in the morning without a middleman amongst us,
because we have finally realized we are all in this together.
Eliminating the middle-persons ensures our collective survival:
this man against the other and a third person paid arbiter,
relics of a broken home — a divided house that did not long last.
In One house the children pay not the father and mother.
No middle-person is needed between mother and child,
nobody is labeled Gentile or Jew, Georgian or Russian,
Hindu or Mormon, conservative or liberal: we are One.
One big family. The profit is love. The rest is just details!
peace
