we can help each other

or we can hurt each other


we can move ourselves forward together

or we can stall as we're snagged on some ornery

soul's implacability


all the living

and all the dead

are in on this

we don't say we're all One for nothing


and no arguing with the sky like Moses

will make a difference nor will doctor's lines

nor a pardon from the governor nor a papal bull...


it is on each of us...in serve of the Oneness

we all crave and fear....
