what we discover…

we who seek truth,know the tree to be a tree!we who seek liberty,throw all that we own onto the fire.we who seek love,feed the hungry.we who seek companionship,simply become dialogue…we who would seek god,well, all of the above.we who seek tomorrow,give today to a stranger…and wrap his feet upwith our dreams!

or how long the labor…dont know how badthe birthing pains…but the time of changeis upon us!let us work together withdiligence and determination,to insure the changeis for the good!we are the human race…let’s be human!

caught dealing hillbilly heroin…has that far away lookin his eyes when he talks,part of him, a big part,still locked up!remember riding with himin a ‘vette,40 years ago…when the wolf in him still hunted,120 mph….now the wolf is dead,he’s mostly dead,maybe i’m dying too,maybe we’re all dead…and the words on his headstone read:wolf killed for pelt!

a revolver on the table,one chamber empty…an old family Bible,the inscription page torn out…a broken pane in the windowthat the sun never hits.a bottle of whiskey,half empty, or half full.an old rug by the chair,that the dog slept on.a grandfather clock,hand stuck at midnight…an old truck, broken axle….a deck of cards…your deal!

go to bed hungry tonite…every child afraid to sleepfor fear of the soldiers,the bullets, the bombs….every child abusedby his parents…every child humiliatedfor being different.every child who’s neverknown his own father…every child with no hopefor an education…every child sleepingin homeless cars.every child alone,lonely, without love.every child of every broken home,every child, every color, every country…staring at…

…..red skin,…….brown skin….human beating hearts!…red blood, needs and wants,…..all breathing,……..the same air!diverse souls,…unified spirit!coming from darkness…..into the light,wrapped in different packages,….all by the same hand,small pieces of the universe,…crying out to be joined!skin cannot hide God’s reflection!
