BEGINNING ECHO



________________________________________

When we shut our eyes and let it all go
the world we are conscious of ends
and something new begins 
we find ourselves at a beginning
the story doesn't come to an ending
our echo's bend to a new frame of existence
not corruption, war, pollution and resistance
but a new and bright corridor bringing relief
passageways leading us away from our grief
into a new painting made of thoughts and heartbeats
a thrumming and drumming, a new masterpeace

Listen to our newly forming words, they speak our truth
speak of our union with Home and our use
they rumble and quake, they rattle and shake
they bring us to ourselves in a way
speak of things we want, we need to say
listen to your own, listen to others
listen to your sisters and your brothers
celebrate our wondrous connection
live, love and laugh in a new direction
toward and not away from one another
as cousins, as fathers and as mothers
let us sing, let us take our place
this masterpeace is ours to paint

The world won't end, we will begin

Peace & Love

ROOT OF

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." __1 Timothy 6:10 It is MONEY, not the LOVE of it that is the issue, the true problem. Love, in and of itself, is never a problem, WANT and NEED, or better yet- the WANT and the conundrum of its very REQUIREMENT for our survival IS the problem, it's creation and our blind use of it is logically the ROOT. In other words, let's leave LOVE out of it altogether and deal with the facts instead. If money were not made by us as a requirement for our survival, we'd find ourselves in a much better position to argue of its need and our want of it. MRP Peace and Love © 2015 Mark Richard Prime

sdrawkcaB nruT (Turn Backwards)

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman
