The Rape of a Child

THE rape OF A CHILD...

There's a difference between human rage from a very visceral reaction to numerous extreme examples, the abuse/rape of children,  another or yourself from imminent harm. I never advocate for not defending yourself or loved ones and I never would. I do not, however, waver on or make distinctions between humans in order to remain equal and humbly righteous...

I would not, however need to kill them, the child will have plenty psychological damage, she certainly doesn't need her father to be taken away, too.

With that, I say I do not want to make that choice, because as a human animal our instincts often override our spiritual path. 

Better that we be spiritually centered in our reactions to horror, there's so much less suffering in it...

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

SKYFALL

Skyfall... We continue to play along with an unnatural game that has serious consequences, soon we'll find ourselves enslaved without recourse to the system. (Is that true of local charades?) Yes. (Why can't we free ourselves from the system?) The madness of money. (It's not money, it's people, right?) It's both, money and us in tandem, thus assuring money's might and our adherance to its loudness. (Madness...) Indeed. © 2017 Mark Richard Prime

THE ROCK HOLDS

The rock holds the soil in and from the soil springs the tree, the green of LIFE rolling from the blue, rising to the occasion of itself. . “Be!”, the (H)eartH declares, “Be what you are!” . (We thought we were!) . (We think we are!) . “You are, but not freely, therefore, only a thought, and a thought without much thinking, as if you were scared into it.”, the (H)eartH added. . [a quietude begins, the truth being heard and heeded, grooving to the flow] ~ © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
