isn't brothers and sisters in God enough
we tolerate so much
we realize too little
we love a myth of peace even when we snipe at each other
just try calling THAT out
and see how much understanding and sympathy you get
nobody likes the truth of complaint
complaint is the only occasion to speak
otherwise you'd lie silent on your bed and create
a world on the ceiling and call it paradise
and be happy happy happy
and try telling that to the God of Love
who measures our worth by our pain
aren't jackasses and swayback mares in God enough
must we be engaged in haggling over what should be
in free abundance and is except for the everyone
who buy into that demand in those conditions
we love a legend of prosperity especially when pockets are empty
and the desperate who sold out their own lives
are so very hungry
isn't it enough that we all being One
even the least of us can derail so effortlessly
the most majestically simple and God-givingly profound
plan of joy and acquiescence
must we be One and which One at that
we don't really like each other
we're some fine human family us
isn't it enough we endure each other
do we all have to be friends
