Enough

How is it that we insist
God's love can only be
for a chosen few

because we're afraid
there won't be enough
of it to go around;

that we contrive our own
path toward God
as the only one?

What horrors would we commit
against one another if we felt
the same way about oxygen?

What hatred DO we perpetrate
in the name of society and sovereignty
over the gift of water?

The biosphere is just as much
built on elemental grace, as air and water;
no one owns a molecule of any of them.
