I hate titles.
What goes on in my head past midnight
What if this was all a test, from inception to demise,
What if it wasn’t just about heaven and hell, but more–
About calming storms within ourselves to find real peace?
About helping to put out raging fires in each other?
We see a heaven as paradise, but we don’t know what
It is, or what it looks like, we opine our personal utopias.
We see so many physical distractions we forget the mental
Aspect of ourselves, the well from which we draw our meaning,
we fail to utilise what was given to us the way we should,
allowing our minds to wither while our possessions grow
wishing for longer days rather than utilising the time we have
trying to take away from the ones who don’t even have much.
life is a balancing act, somewhere in the middle is where it is best
kept. We shun truth because it hurts us, not realising the pain
Is necessary, the feeling of shame serving as a drug to heal.
The shame of knowing we could have done better but we didn’t
It took us so long to get here, but our memories are so short
Forgetting those who fought so our doors wouldn’t remain shut.
Why do we need large gestures of evil to remind us to fight?
And when others suffer, why don’t we stand up for their rights?
Why don’t we consider the lives of others like we do ours,
Instead creating shields to safeguard ourselves from the others.
Hating each other when the higher purpose is the unification of womankind
Allowing ourselves to be led around, clear in sight but blind in mind.
maybe its anger at trump, or the fact people still die from hunger,
maybe vegans are right and are among the first to wake from slumber,
maybe its anger at racism, separation, or anything keeping us apart,
maybe its anger at all the lies they told us to try and keep us apart.
maybe it’s the fact we know we can do more. Our own realisation;
the change we need to see can only begin with an internal revolution.
Only noteworthy thing in this mental rambling, I substitute mankind for womankind because there are no rules which dictate it cannot be that way. You get the picture hopefully..
