The Word in Focus with Dr Larry Taylor

The very substance of our souls lies in the 

awareness that souls have no substance.

The subterranean river of empathy is

Hidden from physical view; its gurgling

Sounds drowned out by the collective

Cries of shattered children choking on

The dust of exploding buildings, and the

Silent sobs of the bereaved whose loved

Ones still live, albeit now with distain in their eyes.

The primal scream of gardens exploited and

Ravaged, brutalized, assaulted, denigrated … 

King Cupidity’s narcissistic private morality has

Seeped into the corridors of power, virus-like

Invading the brains of those wishing for a

World where they can rest both comfortably and

Guilt-free atop a system of oppressive injustice. 

Shall not the judge of the earth do right?
