PUSHING THE LOVE AGENDA

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

How so often
I try to write
from the beautiful side
of love and life
emphatic opinions
on most anything
mean naught
if but truth and love
come with them not
from the deepest inner
chambers of their midst
so many speak without thinking
embrace without loving
hear without listening
look without seeing
comprehend without
fully understanding
only to then judge without knowing
there is so little to life
if one does not readily
recognize the integral threads
that entwine all of mankind
into and out of one another
gracefully without end
there is no us and them
that is just an illusion of
the human ego's whim
and every day of one's life
that is so ignorantly reinforced
by the media, the government,
religious constructs and even
so called family and friends
mark my words
we are all generally the same
we just live in different parts
of the world
speak different languages
and assume other identities
and names.................

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I'm going with the notion if we spent more time trying to get to know people and less time wrapped up in our own yet realized misunderstanding and ignorance we as a world would be a far better place. I've always intensely disliked that them and us crap that many people push. Our ideologies may be different along with our cultures but deep down we are all the same. Most everyone wants food, clean water, a safe place to call home, reliable transportation, good schools for their children and better opportunities for their community no matter if they live in Siberia or Kenya or some dot of a dirty town on a map somewhere out in Kansas. Without love and all the things that make it beautiful, little works in this world to the benefit of the majority of mankind. It's when we pull together as humans that we do something that is for the good of all of us not just for a very few of us...... I love this motto, 'TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT GO OUT TODAY AND COMMIT AN OCCASIONAL ACT OF KINDNESS OR TWO YOU'LL BE AMAZED AT THE RETURN YOU GET'...........
