SCHISMS

SCHISMS

A Poem by Julie Grenness
"

I woke up with a song on my brain....

"

SCHISMS....

I woke up with Lennon on my brain,

I read the news in the usual way,

Turbulence and schisms over isms,

Society's deep divisive chasms,

Why are we all such lemmings?

Bigotry and phobias forming--

Imagine a world of informal religions,

Peace and tolerance in our visions,

For churches we revere the Universe,

Star trekking our young deserve,

Imagine our brave new Planet Earth,

In a century's time, what would it be worth?

All children learning beautifully,

None taught hatred or hostility.

Imagine no schisms over isms today,

I woke up with Lennon on my brain.
