in this great forgetfulness
words lost in words
world lost withing
individual self a personal truth alone
so far removed
defines some hell
I pray in silence for us
blinded by reactions
this distraction stripped
away all our hope of freedom from ourselves
turned us to slaves
digging us, the hopeless, separate graves
shovel the earth away
I pray in silence for us
that our mother saves
I come to you humbly
with naked truth
that I be shown a new way
on the hands and knees of the bruised
on the ground that we abused
