Think We Are Different

 

You thought that you were so different

Until you met someone much like yourself

Maybe in a dream

Another lifetime

A nightmare

Or a drunken despair

 

He had no legs

She was missing feet

The little boy was blind

And the girl, due to Alzheimer’s

  had lost the memories in her mind

 

From war, everyone lost someone they knew

From famine, the body count seemed infinite

Global Pandemics made for disparaging averages,

‘Lucky to be alive,’ even in sadness, united

Making death the unifying factor,

   among seemingly opposites

 

Still think we are different,

Universal Laws, laugh at human ignorance

The indifference of intolerance

Coupled with natural disasters

Eventually yields a oneness

And unveils the pettiness of unnatural dualities

 

Hell-on-Earth has a way of debunking

  the concept of Big-I’s and Little-You’s

Sheds light on the darkness of

  racism, sexism, and nationalism,

Luminates deep seated hatreds

  fueled by clannish cultures,

  unjust laws, one-sided traditions and

  evil people who hide behind the good of religious principles

Darkness only prevails in the absence of light

 

Think you are so different

Does the Earth have to swallow itself up

  in order to change the hearts and minds of its inhabitants

Maybe.

And maybe given a few more tragedies

  You will think again.

 

New Thought:

  One Planet

  One People

  One Peace

Connected - All Lives Matter!

Power of Choice

A Wise One once said,

Rain, Hail, Snow and Earthquakes

Are caused by the Son of Man

What a stand

While other’s perceived responsibility

Rested in some random upper hand

Wise One was correct

And, if today we comprehend

Then today begins a new reproductive trend

One where Awake, Aware and Absolute

Alternate realities are ours to choose

Say, “Yes,” and there is only to gain

The power of change

Showered as rain

Amid Conscious, collective, targeted choice

In the power of Collective Voice

Intensity like laser beams

In the magnitude of atomic energy

With capacity to rearrange

all we call normal, but is really strange

Ways adopted that kill and maim

Thoughts that have created poverty, pain

And Humanity’s current walk of shame

Clear, Committed and Confident

Is the new rally cry of The Conscious

Claiming ownership for what is

Understanding that attitude reflects leadership

And that therefore

The power to change is a possibility

And a human responsibility, That: …

Everyone have more than enough to eat

Health care be free and universally provided excellently

Education is marked by Universal Truths

And shared equally, energetically,

to empower the world’s youth

Nightly everyone rests under a clean, safe and secured roof

All wars end today

And auditing begins tomorrow,

that peace may replace the effects of sorrow

Every home has a garden

All foods are GMO-free

Rain falls as needed globally

The Earth is healed and heals us back

Daylight savings stops and the seasons are on track

All we have to say is, “Be.”

For life is as we Believe and Voice

And WE have the Power of Choice.
