Stand for truth.
A partial truth will not save us –
partial truth is another term
for untruth
Yet we come with these fragments,
don’t know the whole story
(trained all our lives in our blindnesses
so we can’t see them)
We will be fragmented
until we insist on oneness,
which will feel at times
like tearing ourselves apart
so we can let partitions be deconstructed
so we can’t cordon ourselves off
from the darkness
So we can stand
and let the light
shine through everything,
washing us clean,
showing the whole truth
and setting things right.
