 My theory is historically all humans have in common is we
All live and die 
That’s our one commonality 
Earth is already dead. Rich know this. 
Hence they are killing off 99% 
But I digress
We all are part of oneness 
I forgave my predators 
Then those I sought as prey 
Eventually came to accept 
Everything is a reflection 
Humans always human 
It’s on each of us how & what we do 
To be of benefit ( using our various resources ) to others 
Remain a victim or be a warrior

Sincerely: I’ve been the darkest of humanity 
And the lightest 

Not sure how much of my poetry you have read but …

Silk curtains closes 
“Most surely not a bad one”
“Not a great actor”
- Darkness surrounded us all

Intermission talks

Blushing red on cheeks 

Chilled wine we drink down

- Distracted from magicians hand 

Bright lights await us 
Innocently we descend 
Madness captivates 
- Mirror reflections dim

Attraction seeks what 
Desired understanding 
Imagines a match 
Illuminating candles
Ends darkness within

Lit match exposed us
Frenzied flames cast shadows, the(ir)e
Merged spirits, carried dreams 
Empty vessels of wine holds
Unrestricted, pleas(e)

Pleasure awaits us 
Innocently, we descend 
Into another
Blushing red on cheeks
Silver dust remains

- Mirror reflections 

——-

We all die in war. 
Overseas, at home, our dreams
Eventually…
Memories fill hearts and minds. 
Straddling fault lines of
Earth shattering natural 
Landscapes of others 
Paradise Lost bleeds
Throughout history

Until Valhalla 
Another died for freedom 
America screams
Follow me

Young woman worked hard
Winning mens created games
Little honor found 

- She remembered she’s a Queen 

Big boys club will rage 
When they must bow to, Her Grace
Historic truths rise 

- Remember

Here : 
Many will never understand the price others have paid for them to be able to live blissful in willful ignorance.
