Salvation

 

ascend into the heights where we’ll tear apart our childish ambitions

and find the freedom we once knew

the life we fight so hard to live,one that’s without restriction

who are they to question, they’re just like us too.

I’ve resigned to the fact that this is just who we are. Consciously or not we’re craving for the absence of restriction,because the lives we’ve been leading continue to convince us that this is the world that we live in- one of judgement. Judgement that feeds the fear we have in our hearts. Judgement that fuels anger and propels us towards hatred. Judgement that provokes violence. Judgement that will eventually have all of us deceived, you and I. Judgement that will eradicate the need for the lives we once used to lead. Lives that were simple, content.Lives that knew peace.Lives that were free.all of that is lost, lost because we’re driven by material needs. Lost because we are cursed by a constant lust after selfish wants. Lost because we’re plagued by anxiety.Lost because we’re constantly living in fear, worry,regret.they will bleed us dry before we know it.our fight for freedom concludes emptiness. The truth hits so hard it echoes through our souls and we cringe at the pain. The kinda pain that burns right through our conscience.The kinda pain that paints death for some and hope for others, others who come to their senses and understand that freedom isnt about living without restrictions. It is about choosing to live in spite of restrictions.

This is the freedom we once knew.The kinda freedom that we can only find when we look to god. When we take ourselves above the lies that continue to burden this society, we’ll see that our ambitions are childish. Its stupid,really. how we trust this world to provide for us. how our fight to defend our fragile selves result in nothing but defeat because we believe that our abilities will take us somewhere above another and this kills the demon inside us, the one that teaches us to draw the line which seperates the haves and have-nots. The demon that incites judgement. This is who we’re fighting. Not each other. This is the salvation that we seek, that we rise above who and what the world needs us to be and escape its hold. Liberation is the salvation that we seek,from who we’re becoming.
