You didn’t come to this planet
to worship a pair of sandals
or a white robe.
You didn’t come to this planet
to be for the party of the left
or the party of the right,
to be a Christian or a Muslim,
a Black or a White.
You did not come here
to get angry with reflections
in a mirror,
or get drunk on disasters
that never quite happen.
You came to be dumbfounded
by a dust mote,
to be torn in pieces
by laughter and pain,
then made One
by the tang of a berry
on your wild tongue.
Why waste another moment
arguing for or against,
when you could slip back
on a soft-as-moonlight
beam of breath into
the radiance you are?
