I Am Afraid
I have tucked the revolution
into
my underwear drawer
It is among the many things
that
are special to me
I am afraid
What happened to US
In a time I cannot recall
Will take everything away
from
the innocents
Who should not see the teeth of wolves
Death calls to me
"COME AND BE BORN!"
From where we all began
From the great unifying forces of the universe
I must sit and calmly find
The place where we all connect
To the now
The soothing and beautiful now
I am afraid
That all of life is real
That flowers bloom
Birds and bees
Beget more birds and bees
That it will be as simple as all that
I have an effervescent bubbling spring
inside
my body
It's connected to my want
To bring change
To send flying sleek spears of
truth
into the mammoth elephant
of
BUSINESS AS USUAL
I am afraid
I will succeed
And that the heady tip this iceberg
will
melt away
And underneath the long beard of my grandfather
Will be nothing other than a neck
