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!
