i am a heathen
walking among the heathen.
i am at home
...
i am nothing more
than a thousand slivers
of broken glass,
in a deserted alley
...
through thorn and thistle,
through storms at sea,
across miles of desert....
...
tick tock, growling thunder,
fire falling from the sky....
the ghosts of death
...
the Tea Party,
modern day Pharisees,
waving flags, and
...
last prayer tendered,
long veil pulled back;
i take you, without asking,
...
if you've never known hunger,
how could you know?
if you've never been homeless,
how could you know?
...
i cant hear you.....
she turned her head,
and he walked away...
...
i cant kill any more children
in the name of oil....
cant starve any more people
in the name of wealth.
...
i feel very fortunate to be able
to write, and to share my thoughts
and feelings
i also feel a responsibility to write
...
