Sacred Autonomy

Life is sacred
Aliveness is sacred
I oppose war
I oppose violence
I oppose rape
I oppose the defilement
Of the flesh
Against one's will

I care not
What color you are
Or your gender
Or your religion
You are not more special
You are not entitled
To rob another
Of their autonomy

It is so simple
As you love yours
Others love theirs
Only the deranged
Only the mentally ill
Only the brainwashed
Can't know this

Violence is the symptom
Of a serious mental illness
A mind that has run amok
That has comandeered its body
And has killed its own heart
Silenced its own soul
Enabling it to harm others

To be human
Is to be humane
Is to feel love
Is to have compassion
One's race, gender, religion
Does not entitle
One to specialness

Wake up your soul
Breathe life into your heart
Cry out the impurities
That cloud your seeing
And know that all life
Is sacred
Equally

Peace
