A Poem by Dr. Larry Ward

Some monkey stole the mic,

praising the doctrine of discovery

day and night.

Perfuming the land with scents and aromas

of Manifest Destiny,

but now furious ego fires burn

because this mind has discovered

it cannot become God.

We know our hearts and minds

are larger than that.

This mind cannot become God

because that was never intended to be.

Please remember this is God with a small G.

The ego who wants to rule the world

is never enough for our value,

for our worth,

for our understanding,
and for our deep meaning

of being a human being.
