Baraka Poem

Baraka-Esque poems

Why is it I look up at night
and find a burning light
that catches my eye.

I think of what I write
& see why it is that I
make the world end around me.

I can preach and lead
And find God smiling
But I ask for peace and
And I see them cry and die.

My world as well as yours
Is filled with wonder and
Imagination that spawns
A wave of infatuation with
Nature and why it is we live

We live in war and peace though
With our Brothers and Sisters
There is still rivalry among us
To compete and survive
From this we learn to live.
