Beating the chest
To prove who’s best
Violence and fire
Mortal desires
Disastrous consequences
Stem from brutal trenches
Unused mental sequences
Superficial differences
Archetypical responses
Locked in flesh hair boxes
Callous visions gleaned
Exhibition of the obscene
Gymnastic routine
Mental exercises
Primates may mature
Survival through war
Compassion and heart
Can be left on the floor
Impetuous trampling
Will you let them…
Kill the beat
Back to your feet
Kill the beat
Back to your feet
Seemingly never ending slaughter
Taking mothers, brothers, sisters and fathers
If we cease the drive
None will survive
Primal response
At what cost
Built around rules
Made by fools
All lives matter
Falls on deaf ears
With eyes blinded
By blood splatter
Post script: A small breathe of relief for the verdict delivered today. We as humans must be in it for the long haul. Always exercise compassion and perspective in your daily life. These tools can be powerful weapons. The only way to combat wrong or evil is to avoid reacting to it and instead respond as a well intentioned human. This is much easier said than done but being human on this world is not easy! Suffering is inevitable and to try and to try and minimize it in any way is truly virtuous.
Yes we must do for ourselves, as we cannot trust anyone to live or make decisions for us, but without humanity we are all on islands without bridges. We are all primates trying to ascend to higher states of existence…
