Healing

Could it be possible for love to heal the troubled, the wounded?

All those damaged souls, who’s ghosts haunt their every hour!

Could love bring them back from the brink of emotional extinction?

Give them back some of the innocence they, at onetime, knew?

When one thinks of the genocide of our First Nations People,

Think of the genocide of their spirit, those remaining souls.

Could it be possible for love to heal the troubled, the wounded?

All those damaged souls, who’s ghosts haunt their every hour!

When one thinks of the genocide of a child’s psyche, hers or his.

One has to wonder what part love plays in this destructive game

man plays as he molests, sexually abuses, emotionally, mentally,

verbally strips naked, to the very marrow, the essence of a child,

of Nations, of the first Peoples residing upon this little blue planet,

past, present and future. Will love give them a glimpse of a future?
