Today as I am
there is strength in me
in just being alive.
Is it god or man that is tearing down this symbolic Tower of Babylon?
I know that it is a little of both.
As I said there is strength in me
in just being alive.
I have been below the lowest step and
I knew that I was strong just being there.
I have carved out a stature of just being on this planet with these marvelous creatures.
When I was deep in the midst of poverty
I saw the being that we were.
 “So, we begged and received brown rice and an orange.
We sat on the ground, making a peaceful ceremony of eating and enjoyed what we got.”
