IN A KINGDOM FAR AWAY
WHERE MEN GO TO PONDER AND PRAY
THERE’S A SIGN ON THE WALL
THAT SAYS
PAIN IN A HUMAN IS AN INSULT TO GOD
PAIN IN A HUMAN THWARTS GOD’S PLAN
IT’S A WALL BEFORE WHICH
SEEKERS SIT PONDERING
WHAT ARE ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR ME
DOES IT HAVE IMPLICATIONS BEYOND ME
CAN I IGNORE IT OR SHOULD I
WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT SELF INFLICTED PAIN
LIKE WORK
EXERCISE
PLAY
GIVING BIRTH
BUT PAIN INFLICTED BY OTHERS
WITH NO CONCERN
FOR THEIR VICTIMS
OR WORSE
ENJOYING IT
GOD WANTED WHAT WAS BEST FOR HIS CREATION
INFLICTED PAIN
GOES COUNTER TO HIS DREAM
FOR HIS CREATION
SO A COMMON CONSENT
OF THOSE STUDYING THE WALL WAS
HOW DOES MY CONDUCT AFFECT OTHERS
IF MY CONDUCT AFFECTS GOD’S PLAN
WHAT DROSS WILL I GAIN
TO HURT GOD’S PLAN
