Raining pain upon broken hearts of grief

Midst the wreckage of terrorism
I seek that inner voice
rising above the rubble
beyond the flags of "infinite justice"
war mongering in the wind.
Instead, feeding the hungry,
somewhere freeing the oppressed,
in a greater miracle of the heart,
like that son of the Christian God
turning the other cheek.
