The stars give course to blood and bone <br />Which in our nature we think is home <br />Yet in this science there is more <br />For despite our suffering we are not alone. <br /> <br />The cross for post moderns a place of ancient gore <br />Can not compete with almost any store <br />That God exists or cares to many almost a certain folly <br />Our vision all prescribed by our wanting more. <br /> <br />I wish that I could claim I'm free <br />Nor held by a sense of history <br />With so much in it that is grizzly <br />It is no wonder that I fear <br />No wonder that I tremble <br />At news I read.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-stars-give-course-to-blood-and-bone/
