Your poem contains a lot, Thank you sharing! Jesus, like Krishna, followed the kingly path and were fully involved in the world and its conflicts. Buddha followed the priestly path, one of detachment from the world.
The changing and the unchanging, the temporal and the eternal, the spiritual and the material, two sides of the same coin, always exist side by side. We need to learn to balance the two, to play our role in the matters of the world, but not confuse the changing world with the eternal divine. Someone said "Don't place your hopes in the world. It will always disappoint" Ultimately, our true nature, the essence, is unaffected. Methinks, a great paradox of existing, to be in the world but not of the world.

Certainly -
I am not dead!
I do not lie about about in my bed
The atrocities of today, hurt my head
Fact has it, my soul has not fled
Nor do I shed
Tens times, my color is deepest red
Temper hangs by a thread
As result of the horrific dread
Probably a sin, to wish them dead
Follow the bread
Perdition ahead ~
Depswah, for sure you are one of the few not yet dead! Vision hurts. Who reads the runes/ruins must suffer. A sin in wishing them dead? I join you.
