Civil Conspiracy

x

If everyone had what they want

Aberrance aside

I mean a place to live

That is secure and likable

Food

For need and a little more celebration

The chance to learn

Some might say we have those things now

We don’t

Water that’s safe and without fear

A measure of peace

In our days and nights

Would this be a better world?

Of course, it would be

How otherwise?

A job

That’s not a dream deferred

So that we rise

Oh, yes, we rise

x

Join me a campaign, will you?

An open conspiracy

To find the smaller and the larger

Ways,

Practice them

To meet the needs of others

And ourselves

That’s it: no more profound than that

Life is important

Though we contract on its importance

With agreements tissue-thin

On paper we’ve polluted

For nation-states that richer folk

Have hollowed out

 

What is left but

Value that has no protection

Words in a chamber without power

Charged with nothing but

Intention and

Words for marketing

 

How then are the poor protected

But they’re not

Maybe we live today

Maybe we don’t get the chance

 

Because the opportunity

Created in creation

Was stolen long ago

And we are left as shells

Abandoned by inhabitants

Left to dry on beaches

Away from water

 

The poor you will have with you

Is not an excuse for

Resignation

Lack of action

Real food to go with

Living water

 

And who is the poor

But all of us connected

To judge by what we take at last

You are impoverished

So am I

Everyone

Not one escapes

We’re all the same

As we’re all unique

 

No one person gets it all

That’s delusion

(you know that)

We share what we have

And leave more for the future

That’s a planet

Worthy to explore

Worthy to make contact

With beings, angels, and God

Of the universe
