A poem by: Ben Dunk. July 9th. 1970.
After lightning comes the thunder.
THE SEVEN THUNDERS
The first thunder comes with miles of pristine people
leaving their belonging’s behind in their countries
helping raise the living from post-war squalor.
The second thunder grants people
the right to live under their own
banner where and how they choose
The third thunder gives position to people who are pious and patient
for every one of them to expand
and proliferate peace in the minds of many
who would otherwise be beastly
The fourth thunder tries to reform evil doers from the past
and bring them into the fold of responsibility,
peace and mutual sympathetic understanding
The fifth thunder provides priest of Heaven
to link man’s mind with God
making communication prayer a reality
The sixth thunder expresses every
wish of the Lord for humans to love one another
working and giving to bring about such cosmopolitan
affection between mankind
as has never before been witnessed in the history of the World
The seventh thunder denounces and denies
all from the Kingdom of heaven
who refuse to yield to the reason of fellow men
They shall perish slowly until they change
to fit the paths of the community
Living and loving in peaceful participation
herein the new plane of life.
