Our Father who art all the heavens And all we dare deem is below Hallowed indeed is thy name We’re too small to ever know Thy kingdom runs through the cycle Of all life which is also a thread Born from one seed by our Mother Earth By your will till that’s done and she’s fed Her Earth is a part of your heaven A gift like the night and the day, The seasons, all sustenance, reason From which your disciples have strayed For our trespasses to e’er be forgiven Such a plea need be made to all Of the creatures whose charge we’ve been given And who, helpless, precede in our fall And too those that suffer oppression For the differences we won’t transcend Tis our brothers who need our confessions in a world which will end for All Men |

Sir... I will forego the PC, and just say, I am librarying this, and leaving behind a most sincere thank you. Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises... |

For our trespasses to e’er be forgiven Such a plea need be made to all Of the creatures whose charge we’ve been given And who, helpless, precede in our fall Amen to this. Excellent write. Chris Don't forget my presents!! |

Thank you both for commenting on the heretics write. Political correctness is an oxymoron. A mere bit lip for silencing a slip of what may appear bigotted and just another shovel of dirt on the grave of the issues we should be discussing. Seemingly every day new scientific confirmation of all living things' common root is surfacing. Yet higher grows the teetering tower of babel, a house increasingly divided and filled with the swelling din of disconcerted disconnect. |

"Her Earth is a part of your heaven A gift like the night and the day," This says it all! A cherished gift it is, reading this poem, I know you know this... Well done and said, RS Namaste ___________ice ><> [This message has been edited by ice (12-10-2004 08:58 AM).] |
