Underneath It All

Under the stars, sun and moon
And the clouds that lace the skies
Under this thing we call reality
Under the nose of your God
And the smile of His adversary
Under whispered words that will sway you
And your thoughts that will betray you
Under the laughter of the fortunate
And the frown of the misfortunate
Under the smell of good things
And the odor of rotten things
Under the glare of a lover
And the stare of a stranger
Under this palace, that house, that building
Under the decisions of politicians
And the wars that never end
Under the feet of brave soldiers
And under bleeding nails that dig for freedom
You'll find dirt.

When the soldiers begin to have such thoughts, then there is hope of a global awakening to this truth ...
Appreciated.
