Ezra might have been on to something
when he penned, the only thing that matters
is the quality of affection, that in the end
that carves the trace in the mind
perhaps he meant that DNA could be restructured,
compassion could be etched into cells, empathy
was not a weakness but a trait to be passed on
to future generations that could grow into impeccable lovers
as a poet warrior, you needn't be hard all the time
you needn't fear the vulnerability
that comes with sharing your heart with strangers
or those inside your circle of linked loops of chain
who knows what might happen with an army
of love-spreaders marching ever so lightly across the planet
gathering disciples that eschew the drums of war
zombies for peace, love, and understanding
what's so funny about that ?
