Love Poem: We Came To Pass Peace

We Came To Pass Peace

Said the Palestinians
to their Israeli neighbors
singing and dancing
karaoke on the Strip

I wish I knew
how to pursue
dual citizenship
as readily
as you

To which Israelis
responded to their Muslim neighbors
dancing in sacred dervish spirals
with songs of 40 year journeys
into We Haven't a Clue

So what shall we do?

Let's all apply
for dual citizenship
on this EarthTribal Strip

What could our governments say
to deny this sacred integral Way?

Both together
and apart
we know our governors
are not here to be our keepers
of narcissistic 
nationalistic 
and alarmingly ballistic
defense.

Our empowering folksongs
empathically resonate
with peace and love demands
for compassionate EarthTribal dance

Better religiously together
than disintegrating apart
from our karaoke on the Strip
song and dance togatherers

Descended
from ancient shepherds
dancing through inhaling
and exhaling monthly moonlight
singing under shared story stars

Sacred EarthMothers
unexpectedly 
miraculously
emerged from Black Holy Matters
with singing children
and inspirating Sabbath men.
