Questioning Valentine

How few know
and of those who know
how many act
on what they know

questions for the wealthiest materialists
offset by the same small number
of truly spiritual thinkers

our neighbors are both braver
and more evil than we had ever
imagined he shouted silently
to himself

do we really want to know how
many of us hold vengeance
in our hearts or how goodness
untested ain’t no goodness at all?
