Laws And Gods Poem by John Mccudden

John, you're a thinking and questioning man! Super! Well drawn thoughtful effort! If, as I see it, we were to go back to the beginnings of time, before man learned to scribble notes and invent a mythical world of separated people and creatures, all governed by their comforting 'gods', we would see that the 'unknown', the fear/ignorance created by the differences in all creatures, pulled us apart and led to ignorance that has lasted until today and possibly forever. How, I beg of everyone, do we begin to trust each other, love all living beings, animal or human, give up our false justifications (religion & gods) and unite, basking in our sameness and in our differences? Can't we all say and mean that we'll never kill anyone, animal or human, that we'll help and support one another, and that we'll share whatever we have? Let each 'tribe' disband and let everyone roam free and safe, respectful of everyone and everything at all times? If we think the world economy is a hurdle, well, we have a lifetime of ignorance and fears to bury. It takes a village to raise a child, but it's going to take the entire planet to live and let live, love and let love, help and let help. We, each person, are responsible. Let's do it. My best, John, and thank you for your insight into the mess we call life and home. Carol

Insightful poem. Well penned. I'm afraid our freedom of movement and observation is decreasing with the problems of the world. Someone once asked, do you think people are basically honest or dishonest. I would like to think honesty prevails, but I am not sure. Left to be free, we might have anarchy. Interesting to think about. Regards, Jim
