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 #poem —— Here : Many will never understand the price others have paid for them to be able to live blissful in willful ignorance. - Ingratiated ingrates #poetry
