Weep for Rachel

One of the poems I will be reading tonight from "Shadows on the Carpet I" along with the audio version.

I wrote this poem after Acidplanet artist JTL (John Carter) contacted me about adding some words to a piece of music he had written.  After listening to his piece, I wrote Weep for Rachel.  He asked me to record the spoken word and mixed it into his music. Hope you enjoy!

Weep as she weeps

Weep for Rachel
Weep as she weeps
As they slaughter
So shall they reap

Do they not hear
That all of nature
Adds its tears to
The sobs of Rachel

Weep for Rachel
Weep as she weeps
As they slaughter
So shall they reap

Do they not know
We are all one
Do they not see
What’s being done

Weep for Rachel
Weep as she weeps
As they slaughter
So shall they reap

Weep for Rachel
Weep as she weeps
