What Better Places To Go Be Spiritual? by pd lyons

sometimes we forget to go

sometimes we forget the land needs healing

the dead cannot be denied, nor should they

 

sometimes we believe by hating we will heal

sometimes we believe by fear we will over come

 

I cannot do this

I refuse to do this

I will go to every Auschwitz, every slave pit, every Hiroshima, Guantanamo, wounded knee, Normandy,

every Nanking every Tibet every Gaza strip

every lepers broken heart

I will not turn away

not for all the political correctness in the western world

 

and to all those who ask

all those who demand

all those who threaten

 

I’ve nothing to say –

‘cept fuck you and your cowardly way
