right and wrong,
division and hatred.
moral implications,
immoral men.
ignorance and pride,
hearts restrained by fear.
the hammer of judgement,
hands buried in pockets!
do we fly?
or watch pictures of flight?
do we care?
or live by token gestures?
do we pray?
or recite mechanical cures?
do we live?
or exist behind walls?
choices, or destiny?
truth, or salvation?
gods carved in stone,
cannot weep for the poor.
and the stranger we meet,
smells like something we've lost.
choices, or destiny?
to fly, or to watch?
Eric, I just got to know there was a poem for Aufie Zophy (my author name) . I like the poem, Eric. Many thanks. All are relevant questions. Really thought provoking and inspiring. If I try to answer some of the questions honestly, I think sometimes I fly but too often I watch at pictures of flight. Many times I really care but token gestures are not foreign to me I think my prayers are for real. I really think Eric, that all of us get so many opportunities in a day to be really compassionate to our fellow human beings. All to often we let them just pass by. Even if I reflect on my today, I have missed quite a number of oppotunities. If I reflect on my day, I tend to be happy for the opportunities taken and regret those gone by. I think that people like Mother Teresa managed to take almost all opportunities and are among the happiest people on earth. Reflection is all important. Some extremely important things are choices, I think, some others are destiny. I was reading your biography and I think you are really a person I would like to meet. Thanks again and my very best regards Hans (Aufie)
When we have true justice, then we will find our true destiny. A fantastic poem.
