We are
made cellular,
Christ
consciousness,
Apoptosis; where
each is
Created
to sacrifice,
Give its
life, for the
Good of
the whole;
Where
each individual
Cell, is
programmed
When
healthy, to die
For the
sake of the
Rest; to choose
Extinction, in order
That others may live,
On,
just as Christ
Is said
to have done;
Each cell
a saviour
And a
redeemer in
The
story, the glory
The
crucifixion of life,
From
which comes,
Resurrection. Only
Resurrection. Only
When a
cell forgets
The truth
of what it
Is, and
why it was
Made,
does it seek
To be
eternal in the
Material
and, in the
Doing, bring Death.
Interesting mix of science and belief - and rather appropriate just before Easter. The cells that forget the truth of what they are and reproduce themselves beyond all control - a very painful and yet accurate image.
ReplyDeleteGood point in the last stanza about bringing Death by seeking the eternal in the Material.
ReplyDeleteLove the thought of a circle of life here.
ReplyDeleteGive its life, for the
Good of the whole;
Didn't think of each cell a savior ~ Liking the images of Christ as a redeemer ~ Good timing for Holy Week and Easter Sunday~
ReplyDeleteInteresting and creative in an interesting posture. Thanks!

Thanks everyone. I did not even make the Easter connection as I am not religious although I have studied quite a few religions so no doubt unconsciously motivated.
