Sonnet

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit.
And began to speak foreign languages.
A fire exists in us despite our lack of merit.
It uplifts the restful soul and quells rages.

But we cower in our own room.
A room of the lonely mind.
Taking solace in an occasional zoom.
But we only have to learn to be kind.

The message is there for all nations.
Despite every human created division.
If only we could all make peace oblations.
This is ours and only our decision.

I know what is the answer in holy writ.
I just find it Oh so hard to do it.

Haiku

There is a fire there
It is for all of mankind
We have to say yes
