Kabir (a social reformer)

Kabir was a social reformer
how did he do it?
not by going out and feeding
the poor and hungry
but by being a light to humanity
because he was within
God consciousness
his words were forceful
and filled with fire
in order to wake up
the souls that were in slumber
he did not bring a sword
with him
he did not bring a shield
with him
he did not bring anything
to read or refer to
or draw from
he simply brought his
being which was
lit up with God essence
this is how he lived
and with this fire
he set in motion
a strong force that
shook the dead energies
about
he lived in a time
in which there was so
much corruption and
idolizing statues and
rituals that were done that
were not benefitting to any
so he came and said no,
how very false that is to worship
an image
how very lame and untrue is that
behavior
if you bow to an ox or a goat
or even to cow manure
with great love and care
and find rich life everywhere
you walk
and everywhere you are
then you are finding God
in yourself
this is how he spoke
because minds that are bent
on power and keeping souls
in bondage by their rules
and nonsense of *this group is higher *
and *this one lower*
bring forward and binds
the masses to rituals
that are corrupt in nature
because at their base there
is a desire for personal gain
and so many just follow along
without questioning, what is this about?
so he came and spoke of freedom within
and God that is in the soul of all man
and beast and all things
he was not ever shaken to think
differently
because he *knew* that all is one
and by this knowledge there is no
way to speak untrue words
he was very simple and in love
with the God source
he was in truth
his poetry is sharp and
flows in love and joy
it strums the heart chords with
beautiful words
and at the same time tears away
the coverings
it lights the mind on fire with
heart
it singes the dark energies
it destroys the shadow by simply
being truth
how very beautiful and very
fortunate to have his presence here once
he has left a great legacy
of strength and outspoken words
that still flow in pure being
for those sincere souls to bask in
