Building Underwater
Brick and mortar unglued like a
House of cards,
This Lego play-set we live in;
Interlocking pieces of memories and experiences
Lost beneath the waves of man’s inhumanity toward man.
As I watch earthquakes in New Zealand, riots in Egypt,
Civil unrest where politics play God-head to personal freedoms
Quenching each voice to be heard,
Lord grant us the temperance to resist relationships we
build underwater, and re-ignite love,
to capsize
The crafts of destruction set before us.
And give us the dignity to kneel for forgiveness…
Before we fade away
on our feet.
