Sabbath
By: Abe Sierra Jr.

 

          Someday…

maybe not today or tomorrow or the day after

but someday the world will make sense

 

          We’ll learn…

to plant gardens without wasting even one seed

to travel across fertile fields

not worrying about make-believe margins or fantasy fences

to build cities without the need to sacrifice forests

to fly without fear of crashing

And to march…

a march not towards utopia

but in celebration of it having already been established

 

          On that day…

all riddles will be [dis]solved

and the question mark will render itself obsolete

we will no longer know labor

for we will find rest

that rest we’ve all been longing for

ever since Adam fell awake

 

         Not yet, but someday...

...we’ll experience the true Sabbath
