How can I heal the world’s pain?
The cancers, tumors,
The nasty rumors,
The lack of humor?
How can I heal the world’s pain?
The violence, hate,
The madness great,
Our terrible fate?
How can I heal the world’s pain?
The end of marrying,
The critics disparaging,
The churches hemorrhaging?
How can I heal the world’s pain?
The children killed,
Life unfulfilled,
Their heartbeats stilled?
How can I heal the world’s pain?
Ten thousands thronging,
The migrants walking —
For life they’re longing.
How can I heal the world’s pain?
The addictive pornography,
The “isms” and philosophies,
The love for others atrophied?
How can I heal the world’s pain,
And my own paralysis?
Does it need analysis?
Or a radical catalyst?
