on the other side of the world
maybe on the other side of what life is like
on the other side of history
apparently by reading.
all these required readings
centered on apartheid
expose my ignorance
and fill me with a heaviness...
that leaves me wondering if I can/should go to this place
filled with the darkness of humanity
or can I do this fast?
centered on the darkness of humanity
torture and injustice
but in prayer, I realize the fallacy of the darkness
on the other side, I'll experience the goodness of humanity
in fasting for Guantanamo, I'll honor the dignity of humanity
my life experiences are full of life
when I forget that
and get lost in the darkness
I lose.
sight of truth, hope, and the Way..
