I wished to write a story
longed to share the aching
then said I to myself,

Are you a Hate-Foster...Or Reconciler?
Do you get a kick out of hating humans?

When I'm gone
and veiled
In green grass
When I no longer cast

the voice machine jam.

And a woman carrying a pitcher of the rain.

Happy his lot could've been
Chasing ball
Carefree under the open sky
Dreaming in colors

Look me up in this picture blotted
There I am in wires adorned
Look from right to left
And left to right
Pause...
Feel these limbs
See how I pose
In the rubble molded.

Between pain and I a needle
Pray tell,

Grateful, delighting in every moment treaded

Are you tossing me some more
Tears?

The injustice endorsed
An occupation legalized
