Reading Between The Lines Poem by J.. J

TRAPPED IN CIRCLES

Due to nature being a dynamic element and the way we humans perceive time and cycles we become trapped into thinking the ways of the past and the previous cycles are the only way forward. History has proven when we venture from the accepted normal schools of thinking, the result is a positive move forward in the evolution of humankind.

CIRCLES OF THE PAST

Our past is rife with the mistakes made by mankind, but the thought of what we collectively practised as being wrong on a fundamental level, has always been too much to contemplate. It would infer the laws we have been following although quite similar have been based upon a foundation build on sand. As there has never been an alternative to the way we teach each other how to be, we stand within the circles of the past and we can no longer see how it can be otherwise.

RELEASE AND FORGIVE

To release ourselves from the past and begin to understand that we as a species got one elemental parameter wrong is the first step to making our world a better place to be. We also have to learn to forgive ourselves. Only when we have done this can we begin to forgive each other. Everyone understands forgiveness and the need for it.

SO PEACE CAN TRULY LAST

It enables us all to take a good and hard earned look at ourselves and the way we choose others to perceive us. With the onus on the inward aspects of each country and what they represent as a singe country amongst many, the need for human pride is still kept alive. As the foundation of all our religious and political laws has changed, the re-evaluation of them all is brought into the frame.

ELEMENTS WORKING TOGETHER
ALWAYS GET THINGS DONE

Only when single elements become members of a team do they stand a chance of achieving their goals. The diversity of the elements only adds to the possibilities available when they are all working towards a common goal.

SINGLE ELEMENTS ONLY KNOW HOW TO BE
THEY ARE RESTRICTED TO BEING ONE

We are restricted by logic to understand no matter how many individuals there are, if they are all the same they can only represent a single entity.

EVERYTHING YOU HAVE LEARNED IS TRUE

No matter where you come from or what you believe to be true, it is. The only condition attached to this proposition is it is a localised interpretation. Localised not only to an area but to a timeline as well.

EVERYTHING MOVES IN TIME

Nothing in this universe stands still, everything is in constant motion, including reasoning.

WE MAKE THE WORLD THE WAY IT IS TODAY

We humans are the reason why the entire world is almost on the brink of destruction, both physically and morally. If our species was not so concerned about their own local pride then the birth of global pride could be achieved.

THERE IS NO OTHER REASON TO FIND

Accept that we as the controlling species of this planet, have the responsibility of protecting not only ourselves but the planet as well. We continually reap the benefits of the Earths resources without really contemplating the consequences. We continually seek for reasoning of all wrongs in our fellow human beings without looking at the mirror image of what we self portray. The reason is ourselves, accept it and the future is secured, deny it because of human vanity and the future will be as already predicted, a holy war that will know no borders and the fall of the human race.

WORKING TOGETHER FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL

This monumental task is not so hard to achieve as everyone might at first think. Working together not only for the first time but this time for everyone. All it takes is a simple change of attitude towards each other at the same time. Working together as a global team, there is nothing that we as a species could not achieve. It is purely based upon our own will to survive as a species and not as individual countries or faith.

SURVIVAL FOR EVERYONE

It's time that we all took notice of each other and each others needs. Not just financially and physically but spiritually as well. Just because we choose to interpret our world differently, does not automatically imply fault.
We are all basically the same. We are all humans. Capable of many wondrous feats and one of the most complex biological beings ever to roam this planet. It is time to understand that we all have the same rights as humans and thus we all have the right to survive without the need to kill other human beings in the process.
No single country in the world has more importance than another.


CUTTING OUR TIES TO THE PAST
DOES NOT MEAN IT HAS BE GONE

Our past will never disappear; all schools of learning will ensure this.
Cutting the ties to our past only refers to the parts that have lead to conflict and not the ties that have been established through trading with each other.
Our past will always remain in the minds of those who are taught it. We ought to revere the past and learn from its lessons rather than glorify its battles.

REMEMBERED FOR ALL THE GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Would it not be preferable for all if the past taught to our children was full of the tremendous achievements through adversity of the human race? Our goals of firstly conquering fire and then the control of it. The inventions that have allowed us all to be able to achieve what was once thought impossible for literally millions of years of human endeavour. The sporting achievements of nations? The advent of powered flight? The miracles of medicine? The constant inquisitiveness of humans to venture into environments that would normally kill us? The great achievements of the early seafarers? The ability to leave the Earths gravitational pull? The greater understanding of our universe? The engineering feats that have been achieved throughout our collective history etc...

NOT FOR HOW MUCH BLOOD WAS SPILLED

Remembering one sides' great victory is dismissing the great loss of life on both sides. For every battle that has ever raged, there has been losses of human life for the wrong reasons on both sides. There is no such thing as the glorious dead, it is a misunderstood fact, there is no glory about dying, all wars were based upon the misguided controlling powers of the time. Always have been, and will continue until humans accept that we are all born equal.

IF WE RUIN THE STORY OF THE PAST

There has been countless conflicts raging around the globe since we all found out that we all are here and we think differently from each other. To remember them all would be to glorify our darker human side and nothing else.


THERE WILL BE NO FOUNDATION ON WHICH TO BUILD

If we on the other hand decide to remove all the references to the battles fought throughout the history of mankind, we will never learn from the mistakes made thus removing the foundation of our own histories. It would seem prudent to teach our children that in the past it was deemed necessary to enforce our teachings upon other through conflict, but we now have seen the misinterpretation of our moral teachings and have learned a new-found respect for all cultural and spiritual differences across the globe as an interpretation of how to understand life and survive in different environments.

REMEMBER IT FOR ALL THE GOOD DEEDS

Deeds of heroism, people taking others unto themselves and giving them shelter. The selflessness of people who risk their own lives daily to protect others. The nurses of the world, the mid-wives, the doctors, the fire-fighters, the ambulance crews, the soldiers who fortify the waters edge or span the gap with bridge-laying equipment so that the refugees can reach the other side of the river, the police who arrived just in time to stop the escalation of hate etc..
These are the acts that should be remembered.

TEACHING ONLY TO THE BETTER PARTS

The advancements of medicine on the battlefields of conflict is a positive way to remember the fallen. The advancements of outer-space and oceanic exploration due to the invention of atomic power, can also be understood as a positive expression of human behaviour through adversity. The evolutionary aspects of every human invention to better this world. The non-intrusive methods found to observe wildlife in their natural habitats, along with the conservation of endangered species and geographical areas etc..

IT WILL MAKE THE TRANSITION MUCH EASIER

With the past understood and no longer feared, the transitional time period from present day thinking to global thinking will be made easier.

PUTTING HUMANITY BACK INTO OUR HEARTS

With global thinking, humanity can be put back into the hearts of us all, as every nation with their own unique laws and understandings will be received and understood as an equal. All countries are developing countries. Humanity starts with the understanding of equality!

IN TIME THINGS WILL BECOME EASIER

As the only aftermath of this endeavour is peace, all the problems that could have arisen if this momentous feat was achieved through conflict will disappear. When all nationalities accept the existence of others as equals, national pride will ensure the rebuilding of all nations from the INSIDE by themselves for themselves in the true spirit of democracy.

WITH OUR OWN WILL TO SHOW US THE WAY

Own will based upon national and global pride will show the way forward. It will differ from one country to another showing the true diversity of global cultures. The guidance we have always sought spiritually will still be there. The achievements of national icons will bear the need for individualism. Worship as it is today will change to a better understanding of the basic moral codes already written within our own specific faith and cultural belief structures.

NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY WE CANNOT

No one has the right to tell us that we cannot have a world unified by all faiths. No one has the right to say you have the right to kill another person based purely upon their religious or cultural belief. No one has the right to say that we cannot believe in ourselves.

WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PRAY

The different ways that people have evolved their unique methods of worship and cultural understanding will be able to be celebrated, taught and understood with pride.

EVERY COUNTRY HAS THE RIGHT TO GOVERN ITSELF

An understanding of equality depicts this to be a justified statement of fact.

AS THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES LIVING THERE

Differences of environment require differences of opinion.

KNOWING WE ALL HAVE A PART IN THE CIRCLE OF LIFE

Simple acceptance of our roles as custodians of our planet.

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A REASON TO CARE

Knowing that we are all a part of something larger means that we are never alone.

EACH FAITH STAYS TRUE UNTO ITSELF

There is no need for any faith to change from its fundamental interpretation of co-existence and survival.

EVERY PERSON CAN FREELY CHOOSE

Whatever form of faith they wish to believe in without persecution.

WITH THE WILL OF FAITH IN US ALL

If everyone for the first time is allowed to understand that the faith they have always kept inside of them is the correct faith, then with a global will we as a species are certain of a future based upon logic, faith and understanding.

THERE IS NO WAY TO LOSE

This time around, everyone is on the winning side.
