OH, I WISH

If we could see us as Heaven knows us

There’d be fewer opportunists

Running the news because

News would be too good to print

2

First message would be that

We do not die

The second would be we are Souls

The third would be teaching

Love and justice

In terms too specific to miss

3

Like practicing fairness

From bottom to top

And ending punitive justice

And building #Cybercommunities

All through the land

So integral living

Could flourish

4

Oh, I wish we could begin

To start with such basics

So we would have things

Worth discussing

Instead of a chorus of doom-laden screeds

Based upon yesterday’s failures

5

Yes I wish that what is real

Had a place at the table

Instead of dismissive put downs

Of things hard to deny in Heaven

Where Earthly illusions soon fade

And all of the Cosmos is opened
