everywhere I look, everywhere I see
the darkest of darkness peeking out
from a cracked vessel trying to Be
woman turns on man, sister on brother
pointing fingers gnarled snarls
condemning one another
the great Web, tangled souls, human mess
terrified Minds , shouting mouths
convinced of their own righteousness
lost in the labyrinth of mental tricks
blaming each other for tocs and tics
forgetting that flesh and heart and blood
mean more than media falsehoods
Ideologies and Isms created as schisms
which one do you belong to?
hate your brother your father your mother
unless they agree with you ?
We are all the same here, we are all in the Tear
that falls further each day
from the Eye that seems to look the other way
so close your Screen, stop tapping keys
open your heart, try to see
youve been tricked into hating
your Human Family
As long as the Hatred blinds the Fearer
You are the same as your Neighbor
Staring in the Mirror
“Spy vs. Spy, baby’s a freak show
Lines form just to the right of your keyhole
Eyes from the paintings seem to follow
Mirrors cap both ends of your telescope.”
