in the meantime, live each moment as if it were the only moment,
for it is…
as for the upcoming election, one must vote his/her heart, but vote.
as for me, i will support President Obama, and continue to believe
in the cause of human rights, in dignity and respect for all, and in freedom of speech, irregardless of what they do.
we, the human race, are a family… we will never be at peace until we both understand and live this. we are responsible.
come alive with crops abundant.empty factory buildings filledwith the ghosts of hard working lives.empty houses lit up,and the sounds of families.empty hands given cups and bowls,empty hearts held close!empty words given meaning,empty promises fulfilled.walking with the Lover…touching the plenty of empty!
i’d say it,and go home.if one actionwould stop the wars,i’d do it,whatever the cost.if one intentcould change the waywe see each other,i’d follow itto my grave.if one desirecould feed the hungry,it would be,my only desire!if one lifewould pay the cost,that brings freedom,and equality to all…i’d pay the price today!
that dropped the bombson the family kneeling togetherin a tiny dwelling?did i?did i pump the gasto drive around townthat sent the armyto invade a small country,rich in oil….well, did i?did i waste the paperthat came from the tree,the whole forest cut down….that left the earth bare,and choking for air….did i?did i throw out the foodleft…
are they the colleges of the hopeless?or just a place to hide the firetill the flame goes out?does anybody want to be poor?does anyone deserve to be poor?who picks the judge?who enforces the law…the law passed by filthy rich politicians?is God white?how about Jesus or Buddha?does He live in the suburbs?what kind of car does…
by service…faithful,ready to givewarmth and needed…sharpness, clarity…..we are no more,and often less….on our best days,in our best worn jeans,boots laced and ready…..
when it starts to smell like‘i dont care’…when it reeks of‘i dont have time to get involved’.when it stares back at me froman angry mirror.when it turns and walks awaylike some stranger….when it hurts with every step i take!
