Righteousness
speaks not of
Divine intent
Indigenous suffer
ungodly loss from
Christian hands
A Muslim community
mourns the brutality
of sanctimonious wrath
Hate is the invention
of mortal minds –
Divine love is a river
that flows for all.
(Tuesdays, I borrow from Twitter @Vjknutson. Image my own.)
Those last two stanzas! Perfect, perfect, perfect!

Religion as it is interpreted, should have no place in our life.

How coincidental with the current political fiasco in Afghanistan. It pierced me to think of their standing in the power games.

This poem reminds me very much of midnight conversations with my dad when I was in high school.

Yes, I was. Part of me misses my dad terribly, but another part of me is thankful he isn’t alive to see what has happened to this country. He worked his whole life for racial and social justice.
