OH YES...IT'S ALL WELL...

I now know you as you are known

to be known---as in the beginning

when wisdom posited

riveting pellets of revelations

strengthening fertile minds---etching

fearless determinations---bounding

the oneness of mind so essential to survival.

 

I now know you as you are known

to be known---and no false claims

of Armageddon can excuse you

from you inhuman genocidal deeds.

No capricious apology or innate fear

can generate a forgive---forget syndrome.

 

Remember to remember that Judas

was and is---forgiven:

for Truth---never forgotten nor

desired to be---is his deed.

May God forgive me

for allowing you to freely rape

and abuse peace, love and justice.

May The Supreme forgive me for allowing

myself to drink the wine of deceit

and bite into  the fruit of fear---to forget

to remember:  you cannot love the tree

and hate its roots; that you cannot fight wars

in the name of peace; cannot build justice

and equanimity on a foundation of injustice. 

 

To forgive and forget.  May The Most High

forever forgive me and never forget

to remind me of the profound effect my fears---

veiled, shadowed choice that I have had to make:

Relentlessly springing into firry actions

when not needed; failing to initiate

community actions when I knew I should.

 

 

I now know you as you were known

to be known: hate---the fraternal abortion

from the belly of the womb; the unsanctified one---

Indeed, with satanic blades you may murderously cut down briefly

the tender trees of the Garden of The Most High; but remain powerless

to uproot the ever anchored and growing roots of our supreme

beginnings here: in this wayward land that is bequeathed us.

 

Indeed, in Amazing Grace…shall we still rise…rise…

and rise again; and may our portion be to hear and echo:

well done…well done…all is well.
