Sword and Sacrifice (Haiku)

Sword and sacrifice:
made in the essence of God--
treat others as self.

There is no true good?
Good is a construct of will?
Ever take offense?

Love others as self:
no construct, no evolved good--
eternal essence.

Accept nothing less:
constructs do not obligate--
only love fulfills.

Goodness will always
withstand the fire of reason
and love, resonate.

Not even God willed
goodness into becoming
but IS that goodness.

The highest truth is
discovered, not created:
love your enemy.

Love is not love if
there is no demonstration--
Sword and Sacrifice.
