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
      be
          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
