someone is hungry.
every night when i go to
sleep in my bed,
someone is homeless.
every time i speak out,
someone is oppressed.
every time i walk
down the street,
someone is imprisoned.
every time i open my eyes,
someone else is blinded.
every day that i live,
someone else is dying…
every time i know i am loved,
someone else is alone…
responsible!
murder is murder.nothing you own or possessis worth the price of a human life…killing never brings peace!the bombs you dropyou lack of faith.the bodies you buryin the shallow ditch your children.only God knows the price you pay,only you know the God you face!every action brings eitherlife or death… your choice!
all too easy to overlook.moments of laughter shared,soft conversations about nothing,that were about everything!meals cooked together and shared,long walks on autumn evenings….watching old movies and in the herofinding the same path, the same journey,the same mistakes, the same triumphs.cutting wood and building a fire;making love, and the moments after shared.harsh words, and then forgiveness,as easy…
the image of a cheapbottle of wine drippedfrom his eyes…i gave hime the money,and a couple of smokes.time has a way of bringing,even from the grave!
now i’m nothing morethan the blades of grassthe gods walk on…the cool stones downby the river wherethey go to wash…the small twigs brokento start their fire….the stillness you run towhen you’re afraid!
the tears that god wept for me,washed away the dirt of my struggle.and again the silence,returns as a friend,wrapped in the soundsof the living!
and old hereticsrarely breed at all…where are we now?if our addictionsto our religions cause…division, hatred, prejudice,inequalities, and wars…maybe we need to lookat what we believe!i am so sick ofracial slurs, sexual slurs,and ignorant fears…i could vomit!freedom…inclusive,not exclusive!spiritual…compassionate,not judgmental!enough said!
