The Great I Am

The Great I AM

If we want to be
better than
we must speak the truth
we must stop
two-stepping with
denial
deceit
degradation.

Whether in planes on 9/11
in an Afghan village
or on the streets of Sanford
whenever one
unarmed and vulnerable "other"
is hunted down and killed
a little piece
of each one of us
dies within
and is buried.

10,000 voices
raised in protest
can make a difference.

100,000 candles
flaming in unity
can bind us together.

1 Million hoodies
can call for justice
and reform
can remind us of
who we were meant
to be.

A people better than.


People who deep within
house the great
I Am.
