Can You Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Can you separate your art
from your politics

Can you separate the temporal
from the divine

Can you separate the excuses
from the reasons

Can you separate true purpose
from those wasted times

Can you separate your vocation
and avocation

Can you separate curiosity
from true insight

Can you separate your duty
from convenience

Can you separate the darkness
from the light
