Call To Arms
When agendas rest
Ends conflict of interest
Yet if the divine does so ordain
We both inflict as well as suffer pain
Arjuna’s dilemma
An unsolved enigma
In the name of dharma
Our actions bearing stigma
How may we draw blood
When the call is for brotherhood
Sinking into silence
We allow voice of conscience
To be our guide
As the divine inside
Does determine course of action
Devoid of ego borne contraction
Victory or defeat
Pulsating with bliss replete
We are equal
In single eye stillness spherical
Even in midst of battle
Divine love our mantle
Yet before we embark
In nakedness stark
We look for all options loving
Choosing embrace endearing
Not about fight or flight
But doing what is right
Who’s to judge
How the mind does fudge
Specious logic
With outcomes tragic
Narrow perception
Borne of ego precipitation
So we surrender and pray
That love be our mainstay
