Today, I wept
I couldn’t stop the tears
The uncontrollable lumps in my throat
The helpless heaving of my chest
There was no one in particular that I was thinking of
No face that appeared vivid in my mind screen
But the anguish that I felt
I knew was coming from beyond me,
Beyond this small, apparently safe and protected
Individual me
It was coming from the depths of humanity
From its very soul
Its sacred soul
Now ravaged by the crimes we have committed against
Ourselves
We cry for democracy
We scream for revenge which we call justice
We die silently from disease – whatever fanciful name we give it
We weep with helplessness
We kick babies around like a football
We rape and humiliate
We draw the sword through the neck
We shoot and kill and maim and incarcerate
And rain bombs jam packed with a million shards of aluminum
So cleverly designed to rip the flesh apart and blind
In seconds
That’s how clever we are
Why, we’ve even got weapons that can destroy the planet
Many times over
We tell lies
We seek to protect those we care for
And it’s just too bad about the rest
We have limited resources, after all
And they are monsters, after all
And we are right, after all
And they are so wrong, after all
And we can use violence, after all
Yes, we’re justified, after all
For god is on our side, after all
We’ve never been good at recognizing our own
Insanity
Today, I wept
At my world gone mad
But I’ll recover
And regain my peace
Universal peace
The peace of ALL, not just some
I’ll return to it
And if you choose,
You will too.
