Lyrics to Jim Meyer's great Meher Baba song, "LOVE IS A TWO-EDGED SWORD." * (footnote will tell a story: why post here, now?)
Here's what happened:
For some years I've administered a Facebook group called POEMS FOR MEHER BABA.
Today (April 20, 2022), for a combination of reasons, I decided to share Jim's lyrics as a poem on that page! I prefaced my post with a little comment, something like "These lyrics contain more
Wisdom than most things I've ever read. Sorry there's no YouTube video of Jim singing the song, for me to add!"
Almost immediately after I posted, I received a Message from Facebook saying my post had "violated our community standards." And they removed it! (I can and will contest that.) Somehow, instead
of taking the poetic metaphors in Jim's lyrics about swords and God Knows what else, they took some literal meaning...which they, meaning their "bot", construed, about slavery, human trafficking,
or something! It happened in the days of the Persian Poets too, I've been given to understand...the words about Love, Wine, etc, being taken solely on the gross level by some.
So, for now, I'm sticking the lyrics here on my website so that I can at least share the LINK on the POEMS FOR MEHER BABA page.
And now you know! JAI MEHER BABA!
