GANDHI’S Spiritual Great GRANDDAUGHTER

[Eva Libre]

She is of the fire
She is of the light
She looks to the left
She looks to the right
Fire and light
Light and fire

Fire
Of heart and soul
Light of the sun
And the “woke” mind

She welcomes to her side
Those who love liberty
Life First
The intricate generative integrity
Of Living Earth

She diminishes shadows
Covens of darkness
Those who denigrate
The common law of decency
Who suffocate mercy
Sneer at and belittle the
Natural laws of diversity The universally
Shared dignity of all of life Fire

Fire
And light
Light
And fire
Truth and freedom
Equality and trust
Light of the sun
And the “woke” mind
Fire of heart and soul

Yes! O
Yes in the BIG YES of life
She
Is of the fire
In passionate intensity
She
Is of the light
Pointing the way toward sanity Democracy
Shall not vanish Truth
Shall not perish
Earth will not become
A prison a matrix of oligarchic oppression
Death camps of poverty
Or a cosmic dead zone

Stand with her now
Stand up with her here Stand resolute
With Gandhi’s spiritual great granddaughter!
In passionate denouncement denounce
Greed and betrayal bigotry and violence
In compassionate resistance resist
Corruption and crime – the gun the lie denial
And the Bomb
Kindle generosity
Illuminate with honesty Loosen
Knots create solutions
Turn turn turn away
From evil expel
The politics of deception
Rid the world (the good suffering world)
Of the perfidy of war

Return tonight
Empower today
Invite to inclusion – everyone everywhere equally
To the Banquet of Lovingkindness
Fire
Fire and light
Light and fire

New languages of empathy
Yes! A personal Yes
In the BIG YES of life Life
Happens here
The haven
The harbor
The tree of our nesting
The harvest
Beyond borders
Before politics
Love one another O
Love what is other
Love one another and
Protect the Earth
Mend what is broken
(Many are broken)

Set free the Wild!
