Live and Let

By JM Huck

LIVE AND LET


Life doesn’t believe in magic dirt
Who settled what
Who was there first
Who makes or stakes a claim today

Life doesn’t believe in magic flags
The flying stars
The burning stripes
The cloths contained and held captive

What life does believe is music
A mother’s heart
A lover’s song
A lion’s breath to lullaby the madness
