slave king

why so eager to busy our lives
no quiet for God where busyness thrives
labor unthinking is labor in vain 
this slight to numb the pain

disconnection from one to All
and each to other too
tied to plow's continued fall
shoulder to shoulder-askew

some know of this petty predicament
but before the word, the slave
mention condition and provoketh perdition
to be dead or to be brave?

best to love one's captor
kings unthrone not often
until one day a rapture
when all great men do soften

these meek, They shall inherit? 
wives tales you surely sing
but one day came unto Their merit
slave-to-God turned mighty king

the lesson of busied hands
is to know for whom they labor
quiet minds in chains yet stand 
when to god they show their favor

work not for a kingdom here
but for a kingdom come
rest your mind on things unseen
repeating: I and the Father are One.
