National Anthem

Folder: 
Believing

A national anthem is not sung

to the violence, greed, or lies

of the past or present

by the rulers of the people

but as homage to the heart of each person

who has ever or will ever live

in the land.



The music of the rain,

the roar of the cataract, the babbling

bubbles of the spring, the muffling

peace of snowfall,

the soothing waves of the sea,

the soughing of winds, the symphony of sunrise

birds, bees' buzzing, baby pigs guzzling are

anthems too, anthems of the Spirit

which quickens all.
