<\/p>\n
Take this poem of mine<\/p>\n
and rip it from your heart<\/p>\n
for it is there – finished<\/p>\n
it just needs your start.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Take this poem of mine<\/p>\n
and remember through<\/p>\n
the pain this place parades,<\/p>\n
remember the words<\/p>\n
each sound a blow to the head<\/p>\n
a wage that is true.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Take this poem of mine<\/p>\n
and wear it<\/p>\n
a yellow star of David<\/p>\n
a flag, a declaration<\/p>\n
that this blood crazed world of<\/p>\n
mundane murder<\/p>\n
will not seep into your<\/p>\n
more red, more rare heart.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Take this poem of mine<\/p>\n
and read it aloud<\/p>\n
to your too true children.<\/p>\n
Read it in a voice<\/p>\n
that sends, that shows<\/p>\n
the same sign<\/p>\n
that is all song, all sense that flows.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Take this poem of mine<\/p>\n
and tear it up.<\/p>\n
Digest it, mend it,<\/p>\n
be it<\/p>\n
and walk on and of this world<\/p>\n
as it<\/p>\n
a song that is free<\/p>\n
singing in each of your steps.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Take this poem of mine<\/p>\n
weak like a calm wind<\/p>\n
slow like the forest’s green<\/p>\n
young like a motherless child<\/p>\n
simple like spring’s sun<\/p>\n
take this poor poem of mine<\/p>\n
and make it your own.<\/p>\n
Only then shall the doors open<\/p>\n
and the wind wander through,<\/p>\n
only then will the heart rise<\/p>\n
and the act be what we do.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
