Of Division Painting

Of Division Avoiding The discourse For so long Knowing The division The polarization Itself is the problem Harnessed and exploited By forces Now at play Unable to step back Step outside To not amplify The conflict But the terror Break the glass Unable to disengage From the outrage Experienced How can you not see This broken man A caricature Of our worst Our darkest shadow It takes little intelligence To manipulate And lie When you are divorced From the rules Of being a human In the best sense Operating With different rules A different Paradigm. All this time I can not Help heal the rift So urgently needed I just want to scream How can you not see Why do you not see This is why I avoid Facebook. I have waited For the moment I could do this Thing All my life I have had An inexplicable Terror and preoccupation With the holocaust How could this happen? And here we are putting Children in cages!! I remember as a child News showing White adults Throwing rocks At little black children It was such An impossible thing To understand Is this who we are Is this who we have always been I can not Dampen down my outrage And terror Enough to be a force To heal the rift. I see these terrible Things Humans do And I know I am part Of humanity. The division The nihilism The cynicism Loss of the Belief That in fact Their are facts The fear Of losing Our privilege In the face Of human suffering Climate refugees Wars and dwindling Resources How can this Be “Christian” We are all In the sinking Ship This will destroy us But first Our souls Within. I have been speechless So not to fuel The fire Of division.
