I bear witness
to so much numbness
that outcrops
from the disconnected soul
is a stalemate of nothing
to have to live with

in such gray marsh of
the vague in between
lessons even here are
likely taught
but it's terribly hard to
sit back and see
the destruction
of such dark apathy
in some manners it seems
a retardation of spirit
yet perhaps it is more so
a coping mechanism
can't really say
am just so thankful
that it is not a sphere of
this incarnated self
that I must somehow maneuver
through
I prefer myself
to walk in the light of
question and curiosity
and along the way
give all I can
by the means of help
case after case
I have steadily been made
aware
that though diverse
are our paths
much can be achieved
if we each but only care
even if just a little.......................
