What Is Man
What is Man?
Upon the doorways of Africa most ancient
Most mystical pathways is etched
The summary of mankind’s travail
Man, know thyself!
What is Man?
What is man that you are mindful of Him?
What is man!
We are not just some higher social animal
We are not an accidental jumpstart
Of some evolutionary process, nonsense
We are downloads of divinity running
In compatibility with an operating system called earth.
So great a phenomenon is man that
Even the Greek gods could not stay away
Neither could the Nephilim nor Thor nor the accuser
Our skin colours are great graffiti of lineage,
Legacy and inheritance across the lofty span of time
Our languages are a global accreditation
And affirmation of God’s acknowledgment
Of the capacity of united man
The event of Babel was not a wicked intervention
It was a strategic silencing of a formidable rebellion
What is Man?
The ordinary man is a lost man no doubt
So, in seeking his answers
The ancient man looked to the stars
The modern man looked through his stats
Still, nothing seemingly satisfies this inner yearning
What is Man?
The ordinary man is the incomplete product
Of Project Eden; a menace of Luciferian mutiny
See, Eden was the incubator where God planned
To hatch mankind into the God Kind
See God made man in God’s own Image
But Adam gave birth after Adam’s own likeness
After the image of His incompletely metamorphosed self
An epic failure of Dramatic Aberrations
What is Man?
This sojourn upon the earth ain’t just about
Heaven and Hell, it ain’t that cheap
Besides we won’t stay in heaven forever
It ain’t scriptural, but leave that aside
That’s the plot for another piece
What is Man?
See life on earth is an initiation procedure
A rite of passage for the adolescence of mankind
Into the community of the Godhead
The administration of the next age
Will not be committed into the hands of Angels, nor gravitational laws
What is Man?
Man is a mystery incontestable
The envy of all creation
A compressed folder of eternal possibility
The jealousy of beings seen and unseen
The center stage of the intergalactic dance
Of plans, purpose, pursuit
What is man?
The legal administrator of the earth realms
The heirs to the structure of God’s realms
The mockery to the folly of the luciferean fall
The hope of all creation
What is Man?
A breath in transition to the God Kind
Until he has light as his spirit
Fire as his soul
And immortality as his body
What is man?
Multiple evolution of a species with God as the raw material, the template
And the end product
The absentee quorum in the council of El
What is man?
What am I?
The home to a being too large
For the earth and heavens to house
I am a Ben-Elohim in progress
The progenitor of the seed of God
I am the son of I am
I am man on the journey
To become what man was meant to be
What is man?
What are you?
SELAH!
