A life not long, nor free of dalliance
Can open to compassion
The hand that bore Stone Hand knows
The man-boy will embrace leader
When he sees senselessness
With innocence as victim
When he feels powerless
Against God’s often misunderstood
Designs
And he gets inkling enough
That he can give hope
To those needing it
The hand that bore Stone Hand
Arranges Stone Hand in West Africa
The summer abroad
Amidst a deadly Ebola outbreak
That reveals Stone Hand
A man of stone with a human heart
With new found resolve to help
Human enough to weep
There are those who survive,
Flown to the states,
While bodies stack up
In Nigeria’s mass graves
Stone Hand weeps
