an open book…

there are
lines in the sand
messages written
in god’s own hand
but we have forgotten
how to read them
we have become
illiterate
to the language
of the soul
we refuse
to decipher anything
that does not conform
to our vision
of the world
we read only that
which justifies what we
want
and
have done
anything else
is viewed as
meaningless scribbles
in the sand
created only
by the tide’s movement
lines in the sand
soon washed away
with the next wave
a wave
that once again
leaves an unread
message

perfection…

waiting
for the right time
when
everything aligned
like
prophetic stars
in the night sky
so
there could be no
confusion
or
doubt
about the message
or
willingness to share
but
by that time
there
was
no one
to
listen

please leave a message…

thanks for calling
the un peace keepers
at the present time
all of our peace keepers
are busy serving
in other countries
however
if you would leave
a brief message
describing the nature
of the atrocities
relevancy of the conflict
to developed world powers
the impact on the global economy
please also indicate whether or not
there is any human interest angles
for major media conglomerates
your case will be reviewed
in the order that it was received
into the world crisis cue
you are currently
caller number 40
please fight on
for whatever
since your conflict
may be of interest
to us

call to prayer…

throughout the day
the voice
in tones
defined by god
reaches out to all
believers
as well as
to
nonbelievers
with a single message
it is time to pray
a message
we should
choose to hear
for indeed it is
time
to
pray
