Anthem Of Mercy

Folder: 
First Do No Harm

In a past life

pawns of the polygamous

patriarchical

petroplutocrat sheik

into silence stoned

his courtesan's shrieks



In this life

they work for

universal amnesty,

all encircling forgiveness

and

unlimited absolution





.Beyond all patriotic hymns

their anthem

like a forest bird's

is infinite mercy







((our present darma is our past karma

.. the way back is the reverse

of the way out..

May Father Mother God now end all violence

on the planet.. whether the stoning of alleged

adulterers in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan,

and United Arab Emirates, the racist death

penalty of US states such as Texas Ohio and North

Carolina, the violence of the slaughterhouse

.. of war.. of cruel thoughts and words)

A pleasure to read this an anthem of mercy. Also a great pleasure to read your bio page. (Yes I read to the end, words do not frighten me.) One thought, Leonard Cohen said to be an ocean is what he claimed to be. A dear friend has called me an ocean, and I think it is quite compliment.
