Life and Death

I have noticed that we do not fear violence

but rather we embrace cold colosseum

son come watch the gunpowder discharge

daughter see the fists and knives in 1080p

look as the children of God kill each other

in high definition

and

entertained

I have noticed that we run from sex

we hide small eyes from

the unclothed Adam

the unclothed Eve

this is too much for you – BE AFRAID

I pondered these things for some time

realizing the truth in it all

we we have always run from the creative in ourselves

always hid from bright light

and held the dead things tight

like dark cloaks covering our shame-

that we, like Him, can bring forth life

but chose death in its stead.

it makes sense

there is so much more power in life

so little in death
