Be That..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

in troubled times
like these
or even in that
simplest
misunderstanding
where one asserts
his righteousness
as though you are
the mistake that
God has committed in
this universe

this i must say

rearrange the world
create a center
a sun i supposed and
of course around these
are the planets
and farther are the stars
and other galaxies

or that black hole
where anything enters
and become dissolve
as that unknown
nothing

remember Pluto
(no not that dog character)
that farthest planet

unaffected and too distant
for anyone's concern and
description

this i must say
in simplest terms...

be that.
