Two hands
Put together
To gather
Water from the stream.
Fresh water that flows freely.
Fashion magazines,
Posters and sounds,
A tapestry of senses,
To decorate a place of our times.
Lights and colors are studied attentively.
Between
The spring,
The mountain landscape,
Brisk pinewood scent
And
The big city
Codes, dos and don’ts
Of fast walkers in distress…
Humanity stands
For a question
A hyphen
A quotation.
As mortals
What is there for us?
Building a hut
That an earthquake can destroy,
Elaborating theories
That can be proved wrong…
Just
Pushing our minds further,
Our bodies to resist,
Our conscience to exist
For the simple pleasure,
For the basic duty
Of purely trying.
When it comes to substantial intellect nourishment and accomplished poetization ~ one can see how they abound in most of the author of "The Least We Can Do" compositions.
If you don't try, you'll never know if you can ......., this is part of my life's philosophy.
If you think you can, you're right.
If you think you can't, you're right.
Me, I gotta try, try, try cause didn't give me this life to just sit, do nothing, and die.
A funny thing I have noticed is that when someone lives in the city, saying they love all the hustle and bustle...They always long to get to the country, where they can find peace, and the quiet noise of nature.....go figure.
Humanity--I love what Leo said, and I can't help playing off the word. If we look at it--separate "human" from the rest of the word, we realize how "itty" we really are. And the paradox is, that the more we realize how insignificant, "itty" we are, the bigger-hearted we become--the more we see why we have to help each other-- the more humane we become. 'Course "humane" has an "e" on the end--I have no idea what that means...
Better a hyphen or a quotation than an asterisk or (worse yet) a footnote. But then, you probably don't mean humanity. You mean Humanity. It's too bad the one is so lacking within the other.
If only we would truly try.
After all, it is the least we can do.
