Poem Artwork


The illusion of duality
With its us and them mentality
This superstitious opposition
Of mine not yours and not hers but his
The paranoia from tribe to tribe
With suffering I need not describe
Because you know and feel what I mean

The black and the white of suspicion
Causing a shadow to fall between
This fearfully lonely position
Always was and will be as it is
Entirely unnecessary
Unnatural though ubiquitous:
So this is what has come between us

And we would be a community
Should we ever be given the chance
But we could never learn how to dance
When we were supposed to be afraid
Of each other then our minds were made
Up for us a chorus of the sheep
The shepherds kept from going too deep

It is only an illusion
Sown to sow lonely confusion

This happens to tell it like it is! I,myself, fight the lonely confusion.
