I Will Wait...

I do not write you, to make you happy, nor to hear you agree. I write to make you think and maybe set your soul free.

 

I have seen…

the swallow fall from the sky,

        on a windless summer day.

the missionary swear,

the prostitute stole his money away.

 a father, become the father,

of his very own daughters, daughter.

 

I am not …

amazed, shocked or entertained,

by any of these things.

 

I am…

 waiting for more!

 

Waiting to see…

 our children grow up  in a world,

never asking  gender or race.

when man finally understands,

religion is an impossible case!

 

Wanting us to ask…

who put the power in our hands,

to divide freedom by sea and land.

to choose the condition of one’s soul,

when we are all one of the same whole.

I will wait…

interesting, and leaves me thinking, considering my awareness and how things do or don't affect me. religion an impossible case......considering religion is mans view of what God wants.....yes....
I like the way your words lead one to question their (my) own self and how I stand, in the light of me......
