In Spiritu

     
                                    
                                  
                                    
 In Spiritu                     
                                       
                                   
Where are the Gods of Gaza?             
                            
How is it they who made so much of,    
and rightly so, what they called     
The Holocaust, have now become          
the new not-sees?  If it truly is   
a matter of kill or be killed,   
we (the whole human race) all   
are doomed.  Take my body.  Take           
my spirit.  The dead will rise          
to the condemnation of the living.
You can stuff your Old Testament
sanctionings in Gehenna.  Have  
you not seen the workings of the
Holy Spirit?  Have you not read  
how the Love between the Father  
and the Son has led us away, and   
continues to lead us away from   
fire and brimstone?  We all say,
who believe, that Abraham is our
earthly father.  Abel and Cain were
from Adam, not from Abraham.
I know.  I too find many things   
hard to assimilate, but you do   
not even need to be a believer  
in a Supreme Being.  You just 
need to believe in humanity,   
in its sacredness.  All those
who favor war need to be moved
to the moon, or better yet,
Mars, so the rest of us can--
and the ghost in the dumpster,
like a mirage, faded in and  
faded out; and the best that   
was / the best that could be   
swirled beyond all understanding
night after night, day after day.
