Silence doesn’t speak for anger

Wet streets don’t cause rain*

Noise doesn’t wake the baby

And only ignorance stands between me and your humanity

So if this is the world you chose to create

Between ceilings and floors and a balcony

If this is the life you have to give to her

Than what hope does her generation have?

That's one of the things I love about poetry. Even though I knew the backstory, what I brought with me to your words and the artistry with which you write allowed them expand and encompass not just your intent but my individual connection. Pure magic!;-)

Beautiful words. You are so

Beautiful words. You are so talented. I agree that silence speaks louder than words, however most people are blinded by apathy and have no balance due to powers that be who promote silence as a way of separating the horrors that they inflict upon people in other countries in exchange for the peaceful reprieve of those in their own countries. Ignorance being their bliss. Such is the life one chooses.


...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

"And only ignorance stands between me and your humanity" 5000 years of human history summed up here Dear. I still have hope we are making progress, although I see so little evidence. I remind myself of my data points as often as I can (or watch Star Trek  -TNG ;-) btw-I think that's an Irish saying; my maternal grandmother used to say it ;-)

:) when it gets really REALLY

:) when it gets really REALLY hard, just remind yourself, we are actually, currently, seriously sitting at the most unviolent time in human history, we have the lowest crime rates ever, the lowest amount of violent action ever, the only reason it seems extreme is because it is made to look extreme. all studies show we are at a point of peace that humanity has never had. its hard ti think of due to the emdia, but it is true.

 

had this chat this wekeend at a friend's house warming in the hottub they rented, it was a good chat, about how even tho violence is down, it seems up beause back in the day you were not exposed to ALL violence, just the stuff you saw in your own town. 

 

You are awesome, never forget it
