Loved this post.
Dedicated to all those
who visited my facebook wall this week
I choose love, not hate
I hear Martin Luther King knocking at the door
I choose poetry, deny so called fate
hear so many poets as they roar
Maya Angelou says, ‘be the rainbow
in someone else’s cloud’
I will forgive but still call for injustice to end
Mahatma Ghandi shows people how to resist
with non violence so –
I wage peace not war
I don’t wait for it to come knocking at the door
I read ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’sParis Talks
and think of when he brings Louis Gregory to the table
in the United States
Actions always speak louder than words
but words have power
and can be absurd
or turn humanity into
a soaring bird
I choose for my children
more than debate
May they educate
illuminate, radiate
and eradicate
prejudice forevermore
I dream we’ll walk…

There are lessons for us all here.
Timely and beautiful – would that its ripples would grow to be waves.
