That Voice Who Calls
I believe in Jesus
I believe in Buddha
I believe in Crazy Horse
—divinity shared
I believe in grace
I believe in enlightenment
I believe in tomorrow
—the promise it bears
I believe in man’s ability
to rise above his nature
Religion a jailer
—its lies befall
I believe our sacred freedom
lives within a solemn choice
To become the living embodiment
—of that voice who calls
(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)
