A spark of fire
a puff of smoke
and another life
is sent to the void
I wonder
where it all begins
Does it begin with greed?
Or perhaps it starts with jealousy?
Where
does the anger spawn?
Where does the need
arise in our society?
Why do we find reasons
to persecute our fellow man?
Why do we find purpose
in the violence and murder?
Is it written
in the very genes from which we are birthed?
Did some mighty maker
find it entertaining to pit us against one another?
No
theres no blaming the heavens for our mistakes
theres is no blaming god
for the mistakes we as humans make
War
Murder
These are only terms
associated with the human genome
But
perhaps I am being too cynical
perhaps
Theres is more to our species than meets the eye
Like light to shadow
like the sun to the moon
even though we are capable of great evil
so are we capable of the great compassion
ironic is it not?
Though some say we are “a violent race”
Why than in ever little gesture of compassion
do I see a reason to hold out hope for our race?
Perhaps its as a wise man once said
that though the world may be covered in evil
As long as there is the tiniest bit of kindness
there is reason to hope
And thus
with that in mind
I leave with this
my final words for this reading
Do not lose hope
for our race just yet
do not give in
to the violence and greed around you
If not for yourself
for the sake of the next generation
bear the persecution
and give them hope to face the new day
And always remember
though tomorrow may seem like the end of days
remember this
and take it to heart
No matter the circumstance
life will continue on its journey
and as long as we have hope and life in ourselves
..........the human race will always follow
