WHAT IS JOY?
Joy is the gift we receive
when we forsake the world,
put aside our selfish agenda,
and seek to serve our God
and each other
with full purpose of heart.
I know this is true.
However, the worldwide pain
at the hands of zealots
colors my heart blue.
Nagging continuously, the question
"Who Are We" chides my soul.
My personal joy has lost it's appeal
as I struggle to learn what is REAL.
I ponder the wonder of how it would be
if all the money spent defensively
were used to reduce the divide between
those who have and those who have not.
It seems so easy to me.
Set people free
from the greedy,
lift them now
out of their poverty.
Stop raping their land
and stealing their resources.
Spend the trillions spent on war
to clean up the neighborhoods
one family at a time.
I dream of a world full
of hearts full of concern
for others.
A world sublime
and free of
misguided souls' crime.
So I write a catharsis of mind stuff
and courageously share in our new
world, requiring a large dose of DARE.
Sonja
