A Response to the Tragedy in Wisconsin


You are People
so you are my people

We breathe the same air
Walk the same Earth
The same blood flows through us
The same Sun warms us

I wept today when I heard 
one of my children,
consumed by darkness,
attacked my people

I weep for every child 
lost to darkness

I grieve for every brother
lost in violence

Let their sacrifice remind us to shine

Shine and the darkness is overcome

Shine and open your Heart

Shine and open other Hearts

Shine together 
and leave no home for darkness

Stand together
Lean on one another

Extend your hands in Peace
Extend your arms in Love

Embrace
Be held
and behold

Ek Onkar
