back into the daily grind
of being hired hands
yet there’s freedom in knowing
our souls soar with the eagles

Father doesn’t judge
when we denounce each other
we denounce ourselves
don’t waste the gift of free will
love each other as he does

we’re all one body
white, black, red, yellow, or brown
all hurt when beaten
when cells no longer feel pain
they’re dead and must be revived
2020.06.07: faith & reason
it’s a mystery
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
in the beginning
who else witnessed the Big Bang
reason does not exclude faith

a field of blackbirds
feeding on dew and sunshine
yet all is not well
praises are not springing fresh
when all men are not brothers
P.S. With apologies to Cat Stevens
