schism...

 

What seems like magic…

Reflections gathered of a magnitude greater than

All the shadows of darkness combined…

…from the laughter

Or a smile in newborn babies eyes
things we can't explain,
happening everyday
as evolving terrors reigning over lifetimes

Softly fade…
bringing about changes
as it graduates into benevolent intelligence
more than ever we are learning to overcome
give up and trade in our petty jealousies, artificial truths

And sacrificial lives
be it based upon our ignorance,

Or the mirror echo madness or cultural schism

As we bleed profusely …mortally wounded

Suffering as we slay our chances at redemption

Because we have chosen to take the easy way out

…not to grow beyond the stages of confrontation

Sets us up for continuous failures

Of episodes of seemingly endless reruns

Bringing anger and frustration

To fail to gain momentum to reach the threshold

Of deliverance from our misunderstandings

Of our “God intended rights”

Falling to depths of inhumanity

Never before commanding such an arsenal of death

The art of war taken to ever increasing heights

Whereas, all we ever did was kill one another

And die, like brothers

Fighting , dying…  buried by those who seek to avenge …

The next round of contenders for the crown

Of the prince of darkness

What a mess

I must confess

…confusion…

It’s all part of the illusion

A patronizing fervor

Strikes us with crowd mentality
a seething lack of tolerance
religious elitism
evolving beyond these

Firing practice rounds down range…

For the love of killing for a noble cause

Where is the honor

Pause to reflect/saying prayers
just as before,
each of us has had our turn
be it in peace or as in war
curses on humanity
lost
in the course  of generations
some ideas die hard,
but what will it profit you
to ride out to your end
in a sinking ship
even as a champion
of a dying cause
realize it's time
to continue
to be relevant,
you must relate
…with all honesty
as we hesitate
all must answer
 to our fate
After all
words been said,
...agreements signed
of the work to be done
nothing will become real
until love is recognized
as the answer for us all
and we bring the truth
in our heart to share
recognized by
everyone
