High Office

by Robert Gresak

God give true men and women.
The time demands strong minds,
great hearts and true faith in the
ultimate goodness of men and willing hands;
men and women whom the lust of high office
does not kill, whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
who possess thought-provoking opinions
and a compassion based will,
who have honor and dignity
and who will not lie and be devious.
Men and women who can stand before a tyrant
and damn his treacherous flatteries without pause,
who can stand tall and unafraid and do the right thing;
not for self, but for their community and society
and for truth even if it means having to be mocked
and hounded and driven into the wilderness;
men and women who will live above the fog
in public duty and in private thinking
and who have to some degree touched
the light of the inner God-self.

Robert Gresak was led at age 19 to meet an inspirational medium who became his spiritual mother and mentor. He became a member of her group and came in touch with the Masters of the Great White Brotherhood and their teachings. Since her passing over to higher service in the late '80s his spiritual gifts have tended towards article writing, a major portion of which of which lies in inspirational poetry.
In Robert's own words, "I do get the strong feeling at times that becoming a speaker as well lies ahead of me soon. I also hope soon to pursue further a book manuscript 'The Art of Living' which I started a few years back."
Robert lives in South Africa.
