The Shameful Earth
Tattoo You May See From Space
Hypocritical though it may seem to erect a prison wall
around the world’s shining beacon of liberty,
Unacknowledged motivations bubble in a seething cauldron of
rancorous fear and incredulously denied bigotry
Creating a defiant scar of petulant separation to be seen on
the Earth’s face from worlds beyond, across time and space
Kindling the dormant collective neural pathway of
anti-humanity that from time-to-time seems to doggedly plague our collective race
Stirring though, as well, the exhausted soul of direct democracy
against her retreat from a market-fueled media cacophony
Today I choose to RESIST a hopelessness borne of the spectre
of a dimly lit path to tyranny, suspiciously validated by votes cast in agony
Energized by an inchoate and growing solidarity with
sisters, brothers and all others whose awoken eyes can now more clearly see
-->
RESISTANCE blooms defiantly as we exalt the simple truth
that NO wall can be made to divide those that are dedicated to a dream of
universal humanity
