"Fist As Body Part" [Reflections On Book - 100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design Stephen Heller and Veronique Vienne - # 8]

Our body parts,
Are active art;
The fist raised high
Says “Back off – guy!”

Defiance in
A world of sin
Finds Kingdom layer’s
Responsive prayer.

For hand is part
Of body art;
As such, alone
It has no home –

Holds symboled power
In protest’s hour;
In action holds
Some object bold.

But perfect hand
In every land
Is body part –
Still needs a heart –

And legs, eyes, ears,
Through laughter, tears
“Weak, sick, and die”,
(Alone is why).

Clenched fist held high
Defiance sighs, is
For power’s might
Rules evil’s night.

Lord, Jesus Christ,
When things aren’t nice
Pour out Your love
Through Spirit’s dove.

Thanks Lord for this.
