Your Eyes

Looking out the window

Listening to the wind blow

Another day in limbo

An old home movie

Flickering in my head

Is this is how it's supposed to be

Or a case of retribution

How loudly we plead our innocence

After we make our contribution

We've made a good livin' on the stuff we thought we knew

Listen for the laugh of Heaven

More dangerous than a loaded gun

Warm up to the warming

Holy eyes approach

without lack, without excess

Because of grasping and rejecting,

You cannot attain it

Your harmony conflicted

Duality revealed

Let your heart receive

The unseen wind

And nonsense such as that

Your Eyes

Looking out the window

Listening to the wind blow

Another day in limbo

An old home movie

Flickering in my head

Is this is how it's supposed to be

Or a case of retribution

How loudly we plead our innocence

After we make our contribution

We've made a good livin' on the stuff we thought we knew

Listen for the laugh of Heaven

More dangerous than a loaded gun

Warm up to the warming

Holy eyes approach

without lack, without excess

Because of grasping and rejecting,

You cannot attain it

Your harmony conflicted

Duality revealed

Let your heart receive

The unseen wind

Nonsense such as that

Roll the Bones

Confirmation by good 'ol boys

Crawling in there with supposed impartiality

Favoring us over those people

Smoke and mirrors

Nobody above the law

The doctors needing healing

Five and dime note pads

Stained with the blood

of those who have fallen through the cracks

Black robes

The irony

Laws framing the meaning of being a human

Marginalize care

Anthropological melee

Tribal elders hidden

Showing up behind the barrel of a gun

So play your games

Few are impressed

Keep a candle in the window

Darkness ever present

Light splinters long forsaken humanity

Walking on water

Walking on Roses

Walks on by

Your trinity missing the Triune

Burning

Becoming no-thing

A question of health

Darkness the very stuff of new life

What is truth

What is in left field

Well ordered life thrust into the arena of terror

Jacobs ladder providing a way in

Three days in the belly

It's not as if you are all alone

in wanting to explode

All of us get lost in the darkness

Experience Experienced Experience

Dream is lost

Disoriented

Dust is cleared

I am innocent

I am guilty

I repent

Restore me

Open hand Surrender

Sacrifice of Man

Human ecology

Death a doorway

Pain a visitor

Let her sleep on the floor

Set the Table

It's my turn

The archaeology of violence governs the tearing

Transforming eternal

Love remains

And the Meek Shall Inherit the Earth

We are the priests of the hallowed halls

Gilded cage revealed

Words give up pompous hearts

The underlying king

Sleeping with the enemy, us

Illusion of liberty

Dude pulls the hope drained soul from toxic soup

Turn it up a notch

Non Christians being Christ, while insulted by the right

You will have the mind of Christ

Weeping throughout the world

Refusing to be comforted

Sharing His suffering

Administrative welfare cut

History of Massacre

If bullets don't get good PR

There are other ways to kill

Soul of man

Soul of God

Soul of home

Recieve your own

Lady wisdom

This story breaks my heart

Like an oak rotting from the inside

exposure the only happy ending

Preventing theft of running shoes

While black babies die for lack

of food, water, basics for life, liberty and the pursuit of

Third world within our borders

Don't look

Two nations

Divided by hate

every power needs an enemy

Super Dome overflows with people

Struggling to hope

for the glaring blue eyes to

see their enemy

crying

Uniformed Army forced to maintain peace

Why?

I wish you could see

I wish you would smell

I wish you will feel

What is going on around you

This is not a dream

The bell tolls

Wise up

Katrina

Proud swagger from out of Texas

waiting for the world's applause

Tell it to the universe

Excuses for abandoning the forgotten

Jesus says you will find him among the outcasts

Ethics and philosophy meet a dehydrated baby

They trusted you until it hurt

Still needing you to keep your word

Tell it to the universe

Vacationing while your people suffer

Like no human should

Well, you got rid of a failing infrastructure

Your fascist architecture would not support

Jesus says you will find him in the outcasts

What will you do when your levee breaks?

When your family slowly dies before your tear filled eyes

Will you accept aid

From those you left behind?

Or be blinded by the light
