Just Enough
Fear begets fear,
then danger and more danger,
where is reprieve
but in love
offered at the altar,
what is there to forgive,
what is there to alter,
in a silent prayer to the Father,
a simple gesture of faithful cure,
no want, no guilt,
no vain desire,
no need
for painful funeral pyre,
just sweet solace
for a wandering soul
wondering what memory is worth
the price to remember,
from past to future,
then to now,
with only instinct
to show you how,
but that is enough
to be
what God would have you be.

A New Dream
Mothers,
don’t raise your kids to be soldiers,
to go away to war,
to come back no more,
to be tagged and flagged
and planted upon the altar
as sacrificial fodder,
the physical price
for the culture clash
of man’s inhumanity to man,
such horror
is the senseless slaughter
of sister and brother,
of good intention,
for God and country,
nation against nation,
is that the twisted alibi,
for contorted corpses
rigid in their duty
to futile endeavor,
dear mother,
certainly there is something better
for life to strive for,
than to be a part of this recurring nightmare,
dream a new dream
to your children,
that for them,
a day of peace may be truly seen.
