Unabashedly Eucharistic

Unabashedly Eucharistic

 

Our days are filled with desperate strife for power

Those who seek the future

 

In the consolidation of Capitalism

Or in the emergence of Confucius ideology

 

In the push for White Supremacy

Or, in the re-enactment of Imperialist dreams

 

In Stalinism, Leninism and Nazism

Or, the hope for a new dawn of Black Power

 

Nationalist dreams and ideology persist

And new age Liberalism is adamant

 

Zionism is stretching its muscle

And global Islamism stubbornly unyielding

 

Communism is pushing forth with venom

And, Totalitarianism and Fascism making its comeback

 

While the poor look forth in despair

 

Within all this I stick with one Force

As the true hope for humankind:

 

It is the potent silence of the Eucharist

That will usher in our new civilisation

 

Seek forth true freedom

Not in the common ideologies that be

 

But in the Corpus Christi

The hope of humankind

 

Call me what you may, but

I am unabashedly Eucharistic!
