Circles…we all live in circles
Concentric circles…Expanding, Receding
Colliding, interacting…Demanding, Retracting
Six and one-half billion…times a day
Self-contained…biological spheres
Micro universes…the big bang
On one small…beleaguered planet
We inhabit…our circles
From birth…until death
Using walls…to conceal them
And doors…to protect them
With borders…to surround them
We use…success… to inflate them
Then pride…to satiate them
Finally religion…to justify them
And when…we run afoul
Of…other circles
We use ... ignorance…to deride them
And intolerance…to reject them
With bigotry…to separate them
Then hate…to berate them
Our faith…to condemn them
Ending with…violence…to destroy them
Circles…co-existing… in a Sea of Resistance
Touching…yet frequently…untouched
Buried…in Boxes
Fashioned…with jagged corners
