It's
Hard to Believe
It's hard to believe that wholeness is a possibility
When pieces of life have been cut dead, used in places not meant to
be and
discarded who knows where
Justified in the name of god…for all that is holy…
to insure that which is right, just and good
It is hard to imagine that cleansing can ever come
From the internal and external blood stains embedded in the body,
lined in the
brain, trapping spirit from hopeful flight
Justified in the name of god…for all that is holy…
to insure that which is right, just and good
It is hard to think that healing can happen
When the smells, tastes, sounds and visions of violence and death
live within
And the force of survival unreasonably, and not unoften, push on without
conscious desire
Maybe only when the spirit returns to where it began
will it know if it learned what it had come to learn and will it truly
be cleansed and
whole,
able to rest in an unstained bed
wrapped in blankets of love, peace and hope
