Our Search For Significance...

11.25.2008
James Edward Johnson
Peaceful Warrior

We feel a slight breeze,
It is the wind that
Shakes the barley, and
It is as if another's
Dream is our nightmare, and
Our nightmare is the other's
Dream, but, Love is spiritual and
Sensual...

Our image is, seemingly,
Important, merely, because
Our brother is an only
Child...

In the Mist of Darkness
Where is the compassion
For those who are left
On the Plains of Sweet Regret...

Where is the
Concept of Truth, in
Reference to the most
Basic of issues, and
A sense of discerning
Our I Am, perhaps,

To learn to apply
Inalienable truths which
Allow most of us
To get off the
Treadmill of Hopelessness...

Aspiring and inspiring, for
And with, love to live
In Christ, and set
Free to seek victory
Over carnal behavior and
Primal lusts which fulfill
The need of being born
Again...


In the Spirit, but,
Able to discern emotional
Pain and unrighteous motion...

Personally, I can feel
The deception, the lies, and
The manipulation about the
War on Communism, the War on
Drugs, the War on Terror, but,
What about the War on Poverty?
