2008-03-09: Take me in one swoop God don't let me dwindle.
I watched the light leave my mother's bed-sick eyes.
She's so scared--once gone, I kissed her cheek,
and the cold of her skin held on my lips.
It's hard to think, "so this is how it ends?"
stretched out on a bed sheet,
sorting through a wreckage of regrets.
--Poi Dog Pondering |

2004-01-19: "The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers."
--Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This blessed sip of life
Is it not enough, Staring down at the ground
Oh then complain and pray, more from above
Greedy little pig
Stop just watch your world trickle away
Oh it's your problem now
It'll all be dead and gone in a few short years
Just love will open our eyes
Just love will put the hope in our minds
Much more than we could ever know
Don't burn the day away"
Dave Matthews |
