What is in a soul?

It is all so intangible

Where we houae our passions and dreams,

Deepest anxieties and fears

Where we are most human

Where we know--or don't know

That we are part of something much bigger

Than just us

That we have an obligation to one another

And to our home the ancestors and elders

Left for us and for our kids and theirs

The soul is wbat reminds us to love mercy

And to loose the bonds of wickedness and

Deliver those who are oppressed

The soul reminds us that every

Hungry or hurtin person is the responsibility

Of us all

That's where the free market folks fail

There is no goon nor nobility in caring

Only for your own meaningless life

If separated from the whole

The soul reminds us that our meaning comes

From the struggle for the whole

The Common Good

All of us aand one aanother
