A Prayer For Kindness (1st Violent Verse of October 2010)

(Cause Cast)  ~This, A Prayer For Kindness, is the first poem in 2010 for the month-long series of daily poems called Violent Verses, poetry for non-violent resolutions, domestic or otherwise.~ __ Dearest justice, won’t you smile? We’ve heard of your coming, but need your breath within us now. Now, before our faces turn from goodness, forgo our account, our worship and love and make a charade of your sun. We’ve been looking for you, for your sunrise in our cups, entreating love’s gentle bloom to stand with its silence, its softness beckoning, asking that we open our steeled fist that they might again become hands. © 2010 by mark prime DVAM - Domestic Violence Awareness Month NCADV - National Coalition Against Domestic Violence USDOJ - United States Department of Justice FVPF -  Family Violence Prevention Fund (The link below will bring you to all, present and 2009, violent verses) Confession Zero's 'Violent Verse' | poetry supp
