As always, she spoke her peace regardless of what others felt or belived in, she tried to speak to all.


What Is The Nature Of Man?



And what
Is the nature
Of man?
Shakespeare knew
It best
Pope knew
It most
And Keats
Felt it
More than both.



But what
Of you
And me?
We shall see,
We shall see,
And weep
For them,
Or die en route.
We all are
Shepherds on the rocks,
Answerable to God -
Because we hear
The song of the lark
And every blade
That grows -
And then there
Are we.
At center
Above it all
But below the feet
Of God -
Afraid,
Vulnerable,
At bay
Before his truth
And consequence.

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin
