Love Certainly

love certainly

i am conducting this pertinent search

for certainty

that i may come to terms

with this hurt in me

a place where no Sun shines

or smiles exist

where the blossoms of understanding

desists

and i know not why

i cry inside like this

you see, i see

when i look across this landscape of humanity

i see a flourishing garden of insanity

and we profane our divinity

oops . . . . there goes another virginity

one who no longer believes

in the goodness

or their ability to conceive

of a better life

devoid of all this unnecessary strife

i look at the villages

and what used to be communities

immersed in wars

and the fears . . .

and i feel them

and i pray they feel me

the children’s smiles suffer

with an empty silence

for they are no longer vibrantly reflected

in their expectations

… beyond the now

Life has lost it’s colorful hues

and those who sit in the Pews

do they truly, really give a damn

man

yes ma’am

yes sir

yes who is going to fix this

collapsed bridge from bliss

this

yes this is why

i am conducting this pertinent search

for certainty

that i may come to terms

with the hurt in me

the more i look consciously

across this landscape of humanity

there is a certain insanity

that makes me ask

am i awake ?

can it be

so i plea within my self

to my self

to please allow me to escape

my nightmare

please turn on the light of resolution

to end this pollution

of our higher states of being

yes, i am conducting this pertinent search

for certainty

that i may come to terms

with this hurt in me

my Brothers and Sisters are

hungry, disease and fearful

and woeful

and full of despair

and anguish

and what dreams come

to their spirits of continual torment

and need

and i plead with you

as do they

this day

every day

won’t you help me

with this pertinent search

for certainty

that we may come to terms

with the hurt in me

in you in humanity

with

Love certainly
