 41. No Answers, Only Actions
The world is full
Of actions
And inactions.
Showing what
We want and don't
By either.

I don't care
For the world
Of hateful
Do's and don't
I am surrounded
By.

Let other poets
Describe
The painful
Reality…

The world
And people
May ask Why
The world
Is this way or that,
But I am here
For on purpose,
To ACT on
The world
Of what I wish
To see in this one.

I see,
I dream,
I create
With the Muse
Who is my
Mistress.

Act with love
When you see hate,
Even if it rises
In your heart
To threaten
To take you to
That dark place
We are all too
Familiar with.

So I chalk the sidewalks
In bright colors
As men and women
Stand nearby
Damming us all
To hell,
No need
When they are
There spewing
Hate,
We are already
There,
Only Love in action
Can transform Hell
To heaven on Earth,
So I chalk,
So I create,
So I love you
In spite
Of yourself,
Because I love
You like God
Does,
Unconditionally.

I can't tell you
Why the Preacher Man
Does what he does
Or how he can believe what
He does,
Or how women
Can use their
Children
To hand out
Pictures
Of dead babies
For anti-abortion,
Like it's the
Most loving thing
They can do.
I can only ACT
With Love and
Chalk in beauty
And hope.

Human beings
Are Beautiful.
Everyone,
In all their shapes
And forms.
I know it to the center
Of my being,
The core of
My soul,
Where the Divine
And I are indistinguishable.
So I take their
Canvases,
With the honor
They have bestowed
Upon me to
Paint them, and create
Them into living art.

I don't know why
The world has
Beaten men
Into vessels of violence
And women to be ashamed
Of anything less
Than a false image
Of beauty…

But I can ACT,
And take out my paints
And with each brushstroke
On their skin,
Make them living art,
To touch the core,
Where every stroke
Is a prayer to every cell,
That they are beautiful
And worthy.
That each creation
Of these bodies
Who are living
Are also a message
To all who look upon them
That they too are
Beautiful,
And can be
What they hope for.
We already
Know about
The ugliness,
It is the tarnish
Which needs
To be cleaned
From our perception
To reveal
The priceless
Treasure
Beneath
The surface.
This is the ACTION
Of my creation.

Act with love,
To find what
We seek.
There are no answers,
Only actions
We can take,
To change
The questions to,

Why didn't we do
This sooner?
This is so much
Fun!?
