Flower Power Poem by AHO Speaks

All existence has a source of power
Some acknowledge not each seed of every flower.

Those whose claim an extension of a living other
A sin of wrongful intent, when they deny a sister or brother.
Authoritarian personal perception no matter where they went
Preparation of a list of sins; without a definition of intent.

Words of sin and forgiveness not compassion to uplift
Solidify the power base with fear first; to stop a rift.

The world has known elongated rivers of power
Even those who denied the seed of their own earthly flowers.

Men who had parents and no family names
As if there was no purpose in a gift of earthly rain.

They even denied a Fathers seed
As if the act would not be a gift but an evil deed.

Women subjected to a subservient role
Yet first to be acknowledge as the one with the pure soul.

All is not lost nor has all been a lie
Each of us is responsible to seek and find; before we die.

Truth does not have to be based on fact alone
There were many believers before the writing on stone.
