WE ARE FIELDS BEFORE EACH
OTHER
How is it they live for eons
in such harmony -
the billions of stars -
the billions of stars -
when most men can barely go
a minute
without declaring war in their mind against someone they know.
without declaring war in their mind against someone they know.
There are wars where no one
marches with a flag,
though that does not keep casualties
from mounting.
though that does not keep casualties
from mounting.
Our hearts irrigate this
earth.
We are fields before
each other.
We are fields before
each other.
How can we live in
harmony?
First we need to
know
First we need to
know
we are all madly in
love
with the same
God.
with the same
God.
