UNFOLDING HUNGER


Our unfolding story is full of great wonder and superlative joy- briefly felt, hunger enters growling. Our stewardship is not to be brief, it is to be constant. The world thirsts for our return to consciousness. The collective shall rise to the challenge posed by starvation's weapon of choice, the illusion of money's need. 

Humankind must rise and resurrect their duty!

We must accept our kinship to all living things and begin to take action in earnest to end the plight of our emptiness.

 Our stomach's growl and you can bet we'll do our damnedest to feed the pit's roaring! 

1. So where's our human empathy, has it been shrunken by indifference?

2. Has empathy starved to death and the media doesn't know how to tell the truth? 

3. Has humanity gone the way of the soil's slow suicide? 

4. Are we starving the (H)eartH with our virulent want?

4. Yes.

3. Yes.

2. Yes.

1. Yes.

Our unfolding story is full of great wonder and superlative joy...

Yes.

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
