god spoke
to me
this love
what is
war on peace
how can
one thought
then word
first came
into light
what about
carnivores and predators
fallacies that kill
policies that murder
canyons and caves
political mess
address what
god spoke
one fist
into love
one spear
through this human heart
one bullet
straight into every mind
what one finds
beyond god's tears
balanced insight
fear into right
iron handed
civil shredded
into shards
tattoo cruel words
facets on golden towers
symbols of fuel and power
grind ancestral bones
love into malice
blood onto swords
one ruddy chalice
politics lording it
over rival hordes
god finally said
cut my throat
revolution evolves
when ancient rivers
run clearly high and dry
speak about erosion
those corrosive massacres
explosive disgrace
yet if
shame were beauty
perhaps this
was love
maybe this human race
would truly see
some blissful light
fading into some
cosmic beatified face
original thought
connection was true
enlightened something
into our righteous heads
god's face turned
into bits and coins
what now
has god wrought
those legal writs
so many desperate wrongs
left something
all those things
stricken and purloined
grunge and cringe and dread
still god's pure thought
intrepid brilliant sight
what god said
creation speaking in this light
