#296 The arc of the moral universe

"Evil may so shape events that Caesar will occupy a place and Christ a cross, but that same Christ will rise up and split history into Ad and BC, so that even the life of Caesar must be dated by his name. Yes, 'the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice'" - Martin Luther King Jr***It is a famous quote. You may have heard it before.It may have confused you and given you pause,So here I present it in a more full clause,To help you appreciate just what this quote may be for.In my eyes it is in nature spiritual The physical world may not follow the sameIt does not say the ruthless will be forgotten We remember both Christ's and Caesar's namesIt does not say that we don't need to try That fate will cast evil, eventually, with shameIt talks of God's plan, how we struggle to see it But his will be the glory, and his will be the fameIt may not serve as much comfort to persecuted nationsNor give the persecutors all that much hesitationSince, I believe, this quote is spiritual in its intentionsSo it may just give worshipers one notion of celebrationThat faith is worthwhile, in the eyes of the believerAnd that which is belongs to him, shall be rendered onto Caesar***https://harryisapoet.blogspot.com/2018/08/the-arc-of-moral-universe.html
