CLOSER
We became puppets of an antiChrist
Punch and Judy in a playground of hate
As we mimicked each other's anger
Grabbing pulling codependents
A complicit compact cloaked consensus
Spinning faster faster faster
Spinning faster faster faster
Squander karma to pay snake charmers
Sleep wandering deadman marcher
Marching from the promised land
To the end of days
At day's end
Praise touch befriend each other
Recognise the one you hate's a brother
Soul awake love spoken needs no broker
Hugging closer close and closer
Hugging closer close and closer
Here's my hand above words swirling
Hear my love so our loves closer
Be my sister love and mother
The gift of grace is our communion
A sun a moon in full union
Punch and Judy in a playground of hate
As we mimicked each other's anger
Grabbing pulling codependents
A complicit compact cloaked consensus
Spinning faster faster faster
Spinning faster faster faster
Squander karma to pay snake charmers
Sleep wandering deadman marcher
Marching from the promised land
To the end of days
At day's end
Praise touch befriend each other
Recognise the one you hate's a brother
Soul awake love spoken needs no broker
Hugging closer close and closer
Hugging closer close and closer
Here's my hand above words swirling
Hear my love so our loves closer
Be my sister love and mother
The gift of grace is our communion
A sun a moon in full union

peaceful crusaders, armed only with arms for embracing;
it's yet a long march...
it's yet a long march...

It's so easy to forget who we are when gravity holds us down, isn't it, Brother?
But, I have come to learn that Love always wins in the end. There is no force greater. LOVEly work.

Great reminders of truth in these words of yours.
When we lose the humility of a servant's heart- to love one another, we lose so much.
It leaves far too much room of toxic and negativity.
Thank you for sharing such a powerful piece.

Love your use of the alliteration I think it bonds your powerful beginning with the depth and message in the last part of the poem...Love one another...Excellent ink

yes my brother always felt that if a something gave me a compunction to act then chances are someone is pulling my strings to their own (not my) fool's dance
