COUNTRIES WITHOUT BORDERS

The cities of the world
are merging
borders falling
cultures crossing

Through the void
of cyberspace
the earth is shrinking
the sense for distance changing

One race
emerging
floating through space
virtually real
I feel home
in every corner of the world  

Expressions
through symbols
we can all understand  

art is the language
the word still a virus
from outer space  

Colors, forms, sounds, shapes
interwoven
in interspace  

cities without borders
earth without borders
us without borders  

a birth of the creative
from the wild woman
the sacred warrior
the seed of unity  

* * *

Remember who you are

you might have the
best looking pussy in the universe  

you might have a
pretty face  

body that talks
in tribal rhythms  

your brain might
shine like a pearl
with brilliant ideas  

your eyes might
look deep and insightful  

your heart might be warm and glowing
with compassion  

but none of this is important
if your mind is corrupt
if emotions
pull you through life
like a puppet  

you have to remember who you are sister
part of it all
a sun
a moon
a universe
a reflection of god
a reflection of man
a reflection of self
a reflection of love
in the currents of life  ##
