These words are empty,
They represent no-thing,
If they do not cause you to feel,
The have no meaning.
For there are those who are dying,
And those who won’t live,
Yet we stand by and do naught,
As if we having nothing to give.
I do not speak,
To you who will read.
I speak to myself,
For I have Love to breed.
Yet I sit and I write,
And I think deep within,
A young girl has inspired me,
A girl no more than ten.
For this young girl spoke great words,
To a throng full of men.
She opened their hearts with her Presence,
A girl no more than ten!!!
Men dressed with their helmets,
Hands close to their guns,
Men fighting for the belief,
That they are saving their sons.
These beliefs that they hold
Are valid and true,
But do the guns that they hold
Possess Power to you?
You see these words have no meaning,
If only you are called to change,
A transmutation of your heart,
A shout to reduce others’ pain.
You see that girl lives in fear,
As do the men with their metal,
We all hurt inside,
But with this should we settle?
I can write here all night,
Live the day with great joy,
Yet amongst the great rock,
Fear fills a young buy.
Nay, these men are filled as well,
Though they hide with solemn masks,
Can we not change these situations,
“Is it possible?” we ask.
I will not inspire you tonight,
For these words are but shallow,
But we must look within our Selves,
We must trust that and follow.
These borders that separate,
Are mans’ ignorant design,
Not knowing that we have been
Brothers and sisters the whole time.
This color of your skin,
The dogma you choose to subscribe,
It is not who you are,
It is the vessel for the ride.
That young girl of ten,
She has changed my heart,
It is about coming together,
Not drifting apart.
Yet these words are hollow,
For they will not change your mind,
But the actions of that young girl,
Please give her your time.
Change is not possible,
It is an imminent truth,
We must drift towards Love,
In which exists no roof.
It must fill us up,
Until we are whole and true,
We must speak with this Eternalness,
Act from it too.
These words are barren,
For they will always be,
Until we consciously choose,
To open our hearts and see.
I write here tonight,
Because I See that young girl,
Her actions speak volumes,
Which can truly change the world.
I will do my best,
To follow her lead,
But I am only one aspect of Truth,
It is all of you who we need.
One act of kindness,
Can change what is feared,
10,000 acts of kindness,
Will bring heaven here.
Can you imagine a world,
Where we live from our hearts?
Can you imagine that world?
Well then shouldn’t we start?
Yet these words are vacant,
The meaning is yours,
Will you decide to choose Love,
Will we change our stars?
You see this life is a gift,
To many that means naught,
Yet you are breathing and walking,
Which to many is sought.
You have food in your pantry,
You have clothes on your back,
While many are worrying,
“When’s the next attack?”
We have been instructed to fight,
That difference should be fought.
Forget what you have learned,
Delete what you’ve been taught.
You sisters may pray different,
Your brothers another color,
But all our great Masters spoke,
“To Love one another!”
Not to accept them with malice,
And pray they will be saved,
But to Love them unconditionally,
For in Spirit’s image they are made.
There is no man in the sky,
Nor a traitor, 666,
But an omnipresent Zephyr,
Who’s Love pervades the mix.
But tonight I am sorry,
For no upliftment will be found,
For our hearts are in the past,
Our feet not on the ground.
We must bring ourselves back here,
To that omnipresent place,
Where our actions follow our hearts,
To that innate Divine space.
From that space we shall take action,
And from there inspire another,
Continuing to walk this path,
Until we are all seen as brothers.
But again these words are empty,
For only you can give them meaning,
Our words have great Power,
And yet we become so numb to what we’re saying.
I heard that in a song,
And it rang true beyond belief,
Because tonight these words are yours,
So I’ll suffice to make it brief.
Remember there is pain,
In all the eyes you meet,
Show them an act of kindness,
Help them to their feet.
All around the world,
There is suffering hard and deep,
So change your words and actions,
Help them up the mountain which at times looks too steep.
If you have eyes to read this now,
You can know that you are blessed.
If you have a home that you can sleep in,
Be grateful you can rest.
Lastly, my words are empty,
Yet I hope they caused you to think,
This thing called life’s a gift,
It’ll be over in a blink.
So while you’re here open your heart to others,
For you are needed more than ever,
The Universe NEEDS your Love, words, and actions,
So we can live Lovingly on this rock together.
All My Love,
Zach IAM
