Tribute to Mt. Carmel
by Zen Gardner
(B4IN) I had the privilege to visit Mt. Carmel this summer. It was difficult to find, only obscure websites gave hints to its location on the outskirts of Waco. We finally found it--no fanfare, no highway markers, no local signs at all. Not surprising--it's a shame on humanity what transpired here.
When we finally found it, this is what we saw. Very different from the TV shots of some massive location. This little chapel, now in the former church's stead, is only a few hundred feet from the gate. It stands humble, solitary and serene on top of the bulldozed remains of the once horrific scene.
We drove in the gate to find this setback from the road, with a simple headstone and memorial to those who died just behind it.
As we continued along towards the chapel, the humble markers were very touching.
But the most striking thing was the peaceful silence there, as if to say, "everything's fine, don't worry about us. We're in a much better place now, and this time and all the world's going through will soon pass...." It was palpable and quite moving. It seemed to just lovingly dismiss any fears or overblown ideas of the powers of the apparent 'controllers' of today. It was almost amusing, and very forgiving and comforting.
Song to Mt. Carmel - by Zen
(haunting old English tune...)
You've never seen silence so loud
These valiant young martyrs were proud
To die for their faith
And their Lord embrace
As they rose from the fiery cloud
The picture today is so still
A chapel now stands on the hill
As if to proclaim
We're always the same
In spite of your efforts to kill
Chorus:
They died for their faith, their children embraced
We watched as these souls burned alive
And though they did suffer, the legacy's tougher
For all who consent to this crime
Yet...
The markers are humble and kind
They honor those lost on both sides
The sweetness is real
A tangible feel
The testament they left resides
There's no anger or hate at Carmel
Just a peace and release you can tell
While it's hard to find
It will calm your mind
With serenity... hear Freedom's Knell
Address: Double EE Ranch Road, Waco, Texas
NE of City, Hwy 2491 (Elk Road)
Epilogue
For some, controversy still shrouds the Branch Davidians who took this valiant stand, as well as concerning the cold, brutal handling of the incident. All that's periferal. The ultimate embrace of conviction for Faith and Love of freedom is one of the heart, and something this country purports to engender and protect, not prosecute and brutally erradicate.
Our altruistic aspirations were supposed to symbolically die that day, as the enemies of Love and Truth continue to try to snuff out our faith, humanity and consciousness. But Love and Truth never die, and live richly in the hearts of Truth and Freedom lovers everywhere......and we are many.
The massacre at Waco was a watershed event and clearly a harbinger of the statist times that have since followed. We each will be called to take our own stand. Some hear the call now, others think they are 'wisely' putting it off while attempting to ignore what's happening in the world around them. In reality, it's something everyone decides daily. There is no tomorrow, only now. When the ultimate decision is to be made, it will be now then as well.

It is a total shame and disgrace on the face of the United States of America and
the federal government that so many people were murdered just to arrest 1 single person.
I am extremely angry that the three people in the pic above have not been charged with
murder and hung.

Yes it is a shame, it was another stab in the heart of liberty with many to come after. We have to put a stop to this attack on America for I fear what is next.
Rahaka said:
Thou Shalt Not Kill... The Kings Torah should be burned. In fact... Anything
advocating self destructive behavior should be censored sense it is a stumbling block to
our evolution. From the day we are born we have been socially conditioned to accept the
corruption that surrounds us to the point that we fight for and defend it thus making us
corrupt. It is time for the "people" to become human (humane) so that we may
finally become a "Humanity" (human unity).
