“We Are All We Have“
I was hungry
So I lived on hope
Until the refrigerator was empty.
I tried to live on peace
Until I became the restless wind
until I could not breathe
I tried to eat the air until
It became smoke in my lungs.
I jumped into the ocean
I cannot swim
I started to float
Waiting for a boat
Or a raft to come along
It did not come.
My body is down to bones
There are sores all over
There is an emptiness
That keeps getting larger and larger
That does not believe in meaning
Or look for purpose
But that believes it must be created
No one is coming out of the stars
To help me
To help us
So we must let
The helper rise up within us
We must become the helper.
We must grow the food
That will fill the hunger.
We are all we have
All we know for sure.
