You didn’t come for healing
You say
You are already healed
You say
You understand it all
You say
The world is insane but you
You say
You can see
This is what I say
You are not healed
I am not healed
No one is healed
Some are healing
As long as there is
Violence
We are not healed
As long as there is
Rape
We are not healed
As long as there is
Government
We are not healed
As long as there is
Prison
We are not healed
As long as there is
Cancer
We are not healed
As long as there is
Addiction
We are not healed
As long as there is
You and I and
Us and them
We are not healed
You already know
You say
You are telling me nothing new
You say
This is what I say
What you seek is
Death
You seek the end
And the end
Is what you will always have
Until you love
The mess
The darkness
The terror of
Not knowing
How it will end
Who you are
Where you are going
You don’t know
Wow Kathleen! This shivers me timbers, so to speak. And I say, “Now if I could only find my beginner’s mind…” 🙂
