help us to understand
(not that we would change
anything)

God has no hands

God has no hands.
We are the ones
with the hands!

what if
we stopped
building mansions

what if
we began
to build ourselves.

our home
in our hearts
freedom

our home
in each other
humanity

our home
in love compassion
reality

hand out condoms

November 14, 2007

hand out condoms
shelter people from abuse
talk to the lonely

instead we preach hell
build mansions
brick walls

You always believe
ends justify means…

until

until
there are
no soldiers
we have all
died in
vain

colony collapse
restless legs
identity theft
tainted eggs

leaded Barbie
cancer genes
home invasion
tainted greens

diseased hearts
deadly sin
broken parts
tumbling in

tasered youth
speech bereft
monks for truth
what love is left?

popping pills
guns in school
glossy pages
skinny cool

homeless nola
no one cares
bullies at war
shiny wares

early risers
sound alarms,
can’t convince
of coming harms

Brainwashed –
water hose in my mouth
baptized from inside out

 

nine was was

September 9, 2007

It seemed a time of respect.

Skies were skies,

no chalky lines
of jet smoke –

only bird and cloud and flag.

Terrorism
was not yet entertainment.

Booty and bullets
disappeared from the screen.

Reflection and restraint
seemed a collective value.

Never to return,

we lived briefly
in the eye of a blood storm
