How do we find
The part of the mind
Given to humankind
To fill the struggle with meaning
In the understanding
Of arbitrary Pain and death?
In a cruel jungle of eating of each other
In wild-seeking to gain a grip on reason
Without sensitivity of a heart’s embrace
To manage control, in kindness to use
To avoid the killing pouring out
Of the emptiness of the tyrant’s hierarchy?
How do we change
What is in Life’s core
That will not poison the blessing of goodwill?
How do we keep evil from contaminating
The source of good, in the power of living?
