We are an evil lot
To the core, at the heart, evil.
We take and plunder and kill
Whatever we want. We ravage and
Eat every thing, even our own at times.
We live on a bio mess of that
Which we have extruded from
The reckonings of our generations.
Yet, once in a while a blossom of
A human grows up from the
Fermentation of our existence.
Then we, others, bow and scrape and
Worship and wail and weep.
Then we fight and take some more.
But every once in a while that blossom
Of a human enlightens another,
And then another,
Then there is a field of blossoms,
And then a hillside of blossoms.
Then a valley full.
And we can walk in it.

But, once in awhile, we do get it right. We do figure out. And we walk in peace. I am hoping for more peace. skp
