Can we

July 13, 2009 2:48 pm

Can we create
More than a complaint

When it’s just not right
or worse;
evil
unholy
sinful
Where do we put our fight

Does our creativity end
In line with the boycott procession

Fed up with the propaganda
Do we jump start the same old band wagon

Full of fear
Miserable anxieties
Leftover diatribes
a Homily from yesteryear

Is this all we have to offer
Still safer
Retreat into subculture

Oh holy cloister
We make our last stand fervently
Alone in a cemetery

Can we enter into
Something honest
and Sincere

Does that rug still have a tear
a Reason to prepare

More than our favorite abstraction
More than a novel invention
Oh God, please more than a duplication
Convention
Placation
Imitation
Slighted with condescension

This will so free
Certainly
an Eternal perplexity
but, Is it capable of creativity

A dimension of surrender, completely

So worried about our audience
do we Forget, it’s only You in attendance

The Only Way…
