ISIS: Our first thought

The war with ISIS—even remembering “they” started it—is extended, made more violent by our actions. Our first thought is to turn to the military. Here we find predictable answers involving killing in return. Neither side is thinking beyond killing. We have not yet thought of it: there is another way.

You’re meant to get to work

You’re not meant
To let God, Jesus, or the Prophet
Do it for you
You have head heart hands vision
You’re meant to get to work
He prayed “God
Rid me of God”

Outraged!

Outraged!
Deeply offended
Enough to kill!
Recall “greater things than these”
The day has arrived to
Move beyond Jesus
