If we are from the stars as Lindbergh taught me
Then parts of Jesus, Peter, Paul, Mohammed and Budha flow within my veins,
But just as surely Hitler, Stalin, Gengis Khan and a host of lesser rogues.
We are as Barb Marquee wisely taught me light and shadow
These primal gatherings within not so easily tamed or directed upowards
I can not help but suspect the stuff of spiritual struggle
Enough for a life time on this planet seduced by flesh.
