love preacher

[saw]

love is the reason to write
to breathe, to challenge
the persistent ennui of the forlorn
on a tumultuous planet known often
to cause serious sandpaper abrasions
across the noses and cheeks of the flock

love is the other side of the fulcrum
the reason to throw back the bedsheets
in the morning, put your feet on the floor
dab your face in aloe vera, head out the door
to greet other human beings
not doing as well as you

it doesn't cost any money to smile
you don't need a credit card to be kind
to show a little empathy....okay okay
I am preaching here, but do I really need
a divinity degree to grasp the power of love
c'mon, certainly I have better credentials

than the televangelist or the pedophile

so Fuck It !....I'm going to just go ahead

and..... preach love

remember the immortal words of the great philosopher Elvis Costello,

What's So Funny 'bout Peace, Love and Understanding ?

that's right...it ain't no joke

[judih]

a little love
creates a little more
and so it goes

[creativesoul]

I love this- please don’t let me stop you- Peace and love are the deal
