one on one
We wound each other
as we maneuver to avoid
just punishments for our actions
as we …manipulate others
to achieve our goals…
…losing sight, at times, of others…
whom are here with us
also to aid and to protect the truly just
who reside with us as we travel this …universal stream…
We align our beliefs…
induced by mistaken loyalties
…coerced by familiar forms and patterns…
based upon false hopes of security
…we feel that we need…
we feel that we need
because
we need another purpose/cause
to be genuine in our trust as
…in each other…
We conceal
behind the mask
our lies
…why are we
lying to ourselves…
lies to cover
other
misplaced conceptions,
rather
misconceptions,
in our beliefs and disbeliefs…
…Why?…
…Why?…
…Why?…
We need
each other
…We need
to use each other…
For purposes
other than
our need to abuse
…some purposes
we need each other…
…we use each other…
…to establish our reputations…
…And protect our beliefs…

Yes, my Brother. The "Black Skins---White Masks---are still with us! There is still so much work to be done in terms of changing their brainwashed perspective. Peace, Love and Unity
