‘thou shalt not kill’…

to live lives of bondage, they have risenup and overthrown the government that oppressed them.when the few have ruled out of their greed,forgetting where their bread came from, theyhave neen taken down.now, more than ever, both here and around theworld, the common, everyday, decent, believing,working people have had enough!knowing, money doesnt make a better person,…

the ‘need’ to possess.we strip our senseswith fake morality.we quench our fireswith our limited concepts.we wound our very lovewith the image we present.we defile our truthwith the lies we settle for…we choose fear over freedom,and so break our own wings!

unloaded my old shotgun,and stood it against the corner.i lowered the flag, put out the fire,put sheets across the windows….turned off the lights, pulled off my boots,and walked out barefooted into the night!sometimes you just get tired oftrying to save a worldthat doesnt want saving…when you cant even manageto save yourself from yourself!and sometimes it’s…

minus two,equals their profit margin.‘in God we trust’stamped on our foreheads…the Bill Of Rightslashed into our backs…another spot on the assembly line,a pair of boots without a tongue.another position vacant,cheap sex without a smoke!unemployment line, or jail time.lawyers and well paid judges.when one plus one plus one,sets an empty plate on a barren table!

one candle…symbolizing peace,within and without;celebrating understanding,and the willingness to understand.symbolizing compassion,and the desire to acceptall men and women just as they are…the dedication to feed the hungry,house the homeless,and heal the sick….one candle…one humanity, diverse and individual,praying, working, sweating, loving together….the dignity of onedefining the dignity of all…lit one candle,and put it in the window…

getting back up,making mistakes,forgiving,being forgiven,trying, crying,giving your all….getting up tomorrow,and doing it again!
