All Who Gave All (Memorial Day 2024)

the saying goes

that All gave some

and Some gave all

and that resonates

with our Divine

and Human instinct

to serve and protect

and our capacity

to care and connect

in our Divine

and common Humanity

and given the chaos

of impenetrable polarities

and indefensible perplexities

and industrial complexities

in our world

that keeps trying

to keep us disconnected

where we can feel

like things are fated

to trap us

infernally in hatred

there is a special

place of Gratitude

for those who fight

(and even die)

to bring an end

to the lie

that we cannot ever

end the fighting

and ignite the Light

of Beloved Community

Eternally in Love

and so we celebrate

Those who went big

and gave all

for the sake

of undying Peace

who Inspire Us

to do the same 

each and every Day

in our small

yet Sacred Ways...

Thanks Be for Them.
