"JUST" Words and Lines
To Buk,
who writes "just"
words and lines.
To beggar on street
from pockets you share
say you, "it's just cash?"
To sibling on gurney
awaiting your organ
say you, "it's just a kidney?"
To nursing home aged
who's felt not a touch
say you, "it's just a hug?"
To despondent mother
hoping for miracle
say you, "it's just a prayer?"
To Creator of sun
with life giving force
say you, "it's just a star?"
To lovers of words
so moved by your mind
say you, "it's just words...
and lines?"
Surely, you dare
not say so to us.
