to call by whatever name

To call by whatever name

Is bound up with and all the same

As something like a prayer.

I have no use for the white man’s god;

All people are the universal power,

We are god, shattered into shards,

And we must be brought back

Together, fixed at the seams

Likewise, I wish I could participate

In you.

Who is to say,

I may not an instrument of vengeance be,

But in your mind

I think I could play a song.
