EACH ONE OF US IS AN ORIGINAL STATE OF GOD

Each one of us
Is an original state of God.
Our own inviolable union.
Waiting to be ratified.

Sewing the flag, the banner
of our righteous battle.
Singing the anthem
of our unknown divinity.

oh say can you see
that I have worn out
every habit and
burned off every hatred

until I am reduced
to a liquid love syrup?
Each one of us avoids
the stab of consciousness

that will Knit Us
To Our Bitter Brother
our perpetrator.
Making forgiveness
beyond necessary.

Instead we secede.
Lose our way,
Pull away from the one thing
that we do not know to find.
The one thing
that we can never really lose.
