nine eleven, two thousand two

different worlds collide
it is war inside
different worlds colliding
these actions are not law abiding
what are laws of man as compared to the
laws of the universe
the Great Spirit
as compared to the cosmos
we have hardly made a scratch on the vast blackboard of eternity
what are these disastrous choices we make?
why do we let blame soak any assigned enemy like lethal rain?
humanity has always been its own worst enemy?

we stand wet and muddied
in the mess of our own choices
different worlds collide
many cannot acknowledge the wars being fought within
born of ignorance
and I wonder as people gather under the stars and stripes
weeping
as they grieve and cry out
waving the red white and blue
I wonder why we go on like this
in our daily routine mundane
why go along with these wars so terribly insane?

you fit into the soul puzzle
as an answer to the unanswerable
you want to write new rules
build new schools
until the system made for the elite has spit you out into the street
your soul is in question
your life learned lessons
burning from your eyes
hands in pockets you cast a gaze down
what could you possibly do now?

what can we possibly do now?
I fit into the soul puzzle
just like you
our power is a crouched feline ready to pounce
I want to write new rules and build new schools
but they keep on and on with the evil talk
with hate filled eyes
the powers of an enemy in disguise

there never was an us and them
that is what explodes
as truth reverberates screaming
when different worlds collide
and we want to hide

nowhere to go as we pray for peace
chant for peace
cry for peace
can't find any peace
so I go inside
and inner worlds collide
but finally
there is no war there

wake up from this horrible dream we call to you
invoking your love
every human can choose to heal and to feel
and to see things as they are
every sunrise a miracle
every birth and death blessed
by the powers of spirit beyond comprehension
wake up by loving the truth and not the lie\
which says more people must die

Israel and Palestine
I invoke a greater love
like the peace symbolized by the dove

what can we possibly do now?
wake up and choose peace
return to the way

that love always intended for us.
