I Am Seeking Inner Peace
Another one from Rudy Francisco:
[b][i]"She asks me to kill the spider.
Instead, I get the most
peaceful weapons I can find.
I take a cup & a napkin,
I catch the spider, put it outside
and allow it to walk away.
If I am ever caught in the wrong place
at the wrong time, just being alive
and not bothering anyone
I hope I am greeted
with the same kind
of mercy."[/i][/b]
I have always wondered what this poem really meant. I am thinking if it is related to the refugee crisis, or being a foreigner in another country or being misunderstood. And that mercy is much needed in these cases.
What do you think?
