I could not make nor would I want to take
You to the point of understanding how
Disappointed I guess it feels to be
Held to be a heretic just in case
You have not suffered this indignity
The point of understanding is a place
Like always everywhere but here and now
Where in the garden some might see the snake
I am but Adam and that not by choice
Yet since I am and since I have these eyes
To see the way I do and have this voice
To speak informed by these I realize
That someone has to say something somehow
And though few think but many think they know
Like them I know nothing and tell them so
That underneath it all we are the same
As victims of our own mortality
But I am not as they are not to blame
Each of us has a dream as I have mine
Live and let live and let the rainbow shine
That underneath it all we are the same
As victims of our own mortality
But I am not as they are not to blame
I'm not sure I understand why but this part especially made me take notice. Great poem.
God Bless,

I too like "And though few think but many think they know"...very profound line. Well done, Steven, well done indeed. Be well, Kathy

This is wonderful, Steven. I especially like: "And though few think but many think they know..."
I'm not sure I see us as victims of mortality, but rather our mortality is a waypoint and a vehicle toward the development of truth - of what we are beyond skin and bones. That is not to say, however, that it cannot be maddening. Yet, I shall do my best to embrace it on this leg of my journey. And, in so doing ~ live and let live. Beautiful.
