When Will We Flower?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We gave it all away:

raising our Children,

growing our Food,

preparing our Food,

knowing Nature,

building our own Houses,

fixing stuff,

predicting Weather,

making things we use,

exchanging our identities

for Paper Heroes

and Things

outside ourselves,

feeling

our own Pain

and the Pain

in the World

around us,

using the Earth

in a way

that compromises

Life itself.

What purpose

does this serve?

Is this

what the Creator

intended?

I don't think so.

We act like

arrogant

little

self-absorbed

Kings,

Queens,

Princes,

Princesses

who have slaves

to do our Bid.

The system

we have created

does not elevate us,

but rather

descends us

into a Prison

of our own Making.

When will we flower

into that which

we were intended?
