Peace When There is No Peace

Utter madness

Sanctimonious and ominous

Green with greed

Malicious, malignant destruction


Those who want to rule the world

Those who cannot be halted by

Mere individuals and prayer

Continue to dig graves for 

Those others who are so willing

To believe in one way, one person

One opinion

Fake news and False prophets


Those less mad

Join hands and suffer

Feeling helpless, hopeless

Angry and sad

Unable to use our energies

Our brute strength, our votes

And our spirits to rid the world

Of this virulent cancer


Not yet


We crawl into holes in the sand

Not being able to breathe

Underneath unstable, shifting particles

Blowing over and around us

We scream, we wail

We denounce all the unfairnesses

The injustice and the terror of 

Living in such a world as this


Sometimes


We go about our days

No longer watching the news

Too heart-wrenching

And chaotic 

We work, we play, and we love

Knowing that somewhere deep 

Within us lives a spark of possibility

Hope and Ascension

Peace when there is no peace


Now


Awake

The sun is rising

See the darkness and the light

Witness the truth and the fictions

Believe, believe 

We are powerful, not weak


Gathering our sparks together

Proclaiming We are One

Burning out this disease

Cauterizing these spectres

Who work against our human

And divine values of 

Compassion and love

Source and Spirit


Their ashes fly up and around

Lifting off from Mother Earth 

Released from gravity, a spiral

No magnetism no more


Spewing out of our atmosphere

Journeying beyond


It is Done
