'of reflections' ancient origins
in this timeline early twenties
reflecting upon society humanity
contemporary human belief systems
values morals materialism politics religions
dominant themes ideas which make individuals tick
decades primary elementary secondary education
adaption into workforce labour force salaries...
the meaning of life the universe this world
the placement of souls earth born realities
''of reflections'' silent thinking meditating
defining self soul defining personal belief
what why when where how methodologies
what we think feel value defines lifestyles...
''What is death, but a new beginning
What is life, merely a heartbeat in time.''
as it was in the beginning so it is in the end
coming full circle the circle is complete
a circle of life life lived realized
as in all lives so little is said left
''of reflections'' so much time thought
so little written to define personalized reality...
to have lived long left so little
is commonplace in normality
life lived in society human herd mentality
''Reflections Upon Socialist States Which Fail''
''Socialist States Which Flag Fail''
poet rather hates writing politics wars...
would rather write nature laughter love
there are subjects issues which scream urgent
issues serious requiring thought contemplation
needing to be thought about addressed resolved
humanity survival requires peace prosperity
resolutions the need to safeguard life all life
sacred one life is all life all earth ecosystems
protect all or fail all as life links unravel lifeless...
a nuclear shadow grim reaper hangs over humanity
an earth rape life rape grim reaper hangs over humanity
protect all life sacred water trees forests rivers seas
humanity can end like dinosaurs in an extinction event...
