amazing love
this is pain killers
this is alcohol	
				how can it be?
these are children
these are antibiotics
				the hours of need.
those are intraveneous needles
those are gutter-punks
		"Oh my God, my little boy is turning blue!"
these are bullet holes
these are new scars
		   who taught the children to hate?
this is self-mutilation
this is retribution
		      who taught them to love?
these are the children of God
these are the junkies
				what manner of love.
these are the killers
these are the AK-47's

I am The Way, The Truth, and The Light
No man comes to The Father except through me.

  write what you see:
Nine children wrestle
in groups of three
 out near the street
 "you and me
  we are friends"
 Three men look
