Heaven?
Hell?
Purgatory?
Earth?
What if I'M wrong?
What if YOU'RE wrong?
Do you believe in an after life?
A before life?

Where were you?
Where were you when our lost souls were starving?
When they were in hospital beds across the country on suicide watch?
When they were drunk behind the wheel with the keys in one hand, in the other a phone with HER number already dialed?

Were you in the streets handing out paper and spreading hate?
You're a million dollar poem.

For every man who feared his Father
Who missed his Mother
Who has held the bottle like their only child
Who has poured his soul out into ink and blood
And Meant It
Who felt deserving of pain.
Look for your Brother
Look for your Sister
When you've found them
Keep looking.
