Someone asks _ Why is life structured in a way to make it seem that material things are all that matters?

My response is _


The people must be convinced to buy what they don't need,
In order to satisfy corporate greed.
If they knew that true value came from deep within,
The suits might never make a profit again.

Then the world would end and the economy would cease,
But all human beings would awake from their sleep.
Then we'd start from scratch with a brand new day,
To make good on the things that Christ used to say.

We don't need to wait for a sign in the sky,
Just make sure you succeed when you decide to try.
Any wise man would agree with me,
That the kingdom is here but the people don't see.

I have the authority, I wrote this myself,
These words never spoken by anyone else.
There is a secret the church is afraid to let through,
That the Kingdom of God is already in you.

Why can't we see it? Why must we all wait?
Because what's good for man is not good for the state.
They cannot tax, if we do not shop,
It isn't in their best interest to get us to stop.

The government is for the people, aren't we all their equal,
Don't they represent us, and do things just as we'd do?
That is the premise upon which we believe,
But since we are so divided, they do as they please.

The only way to improve the conditions we are in,
Is to recognize a stranger as a potential friend.
Not as a competitor or an enemy to destroy
But another child of God whose time you'll enjoy.

I am not a flower child in a cloud of false belief,
But I know to accomplish anything we must first establish peace.
A fantasy is an illusion and does not require proof,
But to save mankind we must all seek the truth.

Yet, Phix, at the same time creativity strays people away from God. How do you think evolutionism came into play? Darwin obviously had some sort of creative urge to make up all of that he spoke of. But if it's creativity that allows us to apply that which God teaches into our lives, I see what you mean.

Those who are not creative will strive to be so, and those who stumble and fall will grab a hand hold to another's creativity. Creativity strays people from God, but for all we know, it created God. Creativity is the basis of ALL creation. It may some day, be the structure of our destruction, as it was the cause of our creation. It is, beyond a shadow os a doubt, the most perplexing subject I have encountered.

One must destroy, in order to create.
