we dance, to survive
noting
all the feathers, we shed
that get trodden, on
whilst
we tiptoe, so as not to step
on anyone\'s, shadow...

Fodder
L. B. Mek said:
well written
indeed, that\'s what rests in the hearts
of all those hopeful parents
and heroes that willingly toil and sacrifice
believing, and intrusting in us who survive them:
\'Leaves who’s turning brings brighter years\'

It Will Come
L. B. Mek said:
those promised whispers
of our fearmongering media, yeah
I stubbled across their poisonous waves
while I was busily, clicking them - back
into extinction...!

Pond
L. B. Mek said:
\'We so easily have begot the fabric of dream and reality are woven into the same cloth
Where is the purpose if not to float in the pond of entirety;\'
wise words indeed, dear poet..
when we\'re bombarded by media propaganda that wants to highlight our faults and inadequacies, what hope is left in us: to dream of happy endings?
let alone aspire to becoming more than this shallow - shadow of human existence, scared of losing what little we have, so we burrow deeper in our \'designated\' - mindset segregated, trenches
where anyone on \'our chosen side\' deserves our empathy and understanding
while we reserve uncompromising hate for everyone else,
because you know: its never our own fault, see
\'we\'re all mere victims, born into the same fubar world - we bequeath to future generations\'...

reads like a mantra to that self-fulfilling destiny you\'ve mapped out purposely,
a breathe, a step and slowly but surely, that horizon will start matching the brightness of your upcoming Spring..
onwards!

The Truth
L. B. Mek said:
well, now we\'re playing the game of real Poetry and you Sir, bring a unique voice to that daunting table,
wonderfully introspective, while simultaneously being inclusive,

I like the use of the compass here, north, south, east, west... Telling such a story too. Enjoyed this one.

John, you are observant beyond your years. I won\'t say wise for who is to judge? Ethanol is so simple but can transmogrify a man, undo his health, ruin his reputation, send him to jail. Adrenaline and dopamine and seratonin also have great powers over a person and each can bring a kind of clarity. LSD and crack we can hold in our hand, or...

A well-crafted example of that paradox. It\'s not exactly an ethical paradox. Nothing unethical about getting credit when credit is due.
I am seldom brave enough, self-sacrificing enough, to make my charitable donations anonymous.

The EVOLUTIONISTS say Man began
As Protoplasm in Primeveal Pool
And is just a bunch of random CHEMICALS !
But you know & I know that a HUMAN BEING
Is infinitly better than just the SUM of its PARTS !
BRIAN HERE ~ Good Evening JOHN thanks for a metaphysical Ode with a challenging Title and an even more challenging content. To answer the Question *What is Man Chemicalwise* it is not easy. However if we purchased all the individual Chemicals (moloecules) contained in an Adult Human it would cost much more than the $64.000 it cost to rebuild Steve Austin *The $64.000 Man* OK so we have the calcium phosphate for bones - the enzymes to catalyze the biochemical reactions needed for metabolism and the proteins & fats for tissues & DNA to progreate ! And Haemoglobin a complex tetrapyrollic macrocycle with an atom of IRON at its centre to carry OXYGEN from the lungs to the cells to oxidise GLUCOSE to provide Energy (ATP) for muscular contraction etc. Thousands of Dollars to buy the stuff we*re made of ~ then there is the *slight* problem of putting it all together ! BLIND CHANCE ~ I dont think so ! We are wonderfully & fearfully created ! Thanks for sharing made me Think !
Love Peace & Joy

Epitaph
dusk arising said:
Thoughts of living a noble and loving life surely should proceed any death wish.
Or life is futile and killing / death is a goal.
Is that what humanity is about?

Wow... Just wow.
It speaks to me of such self sacrifice for a better world...
I read it through about six times just to fully let it sink in.
