There is a word in Farsi that means <br />you, me, him, her, us, them, nature, <br />and God. One word to voice the pure, <br />common life-force winding through us all. <br /> <br />If only we'd known sooner. This mess <br />of understanding could have been avoided. <br /> <br />For in English, we have no <br />such word. In America <br />at least, nature is not pure. It is <br />a formula, ripe for tampering. <br />In America, nature is relative. <br /> <br />And God? He is not free, <br />though on sale this week at Wal-Mart. <br />In America, God is a man. <br />He is a capitalist. <br />And he is Pay Per View.<br /><br />Lori Boulard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-difference-between-us-and-them/
