We live and learn!

 

Oddities

 

we live and learn

 

and learn

and learn

and make terrible mistakes

and after we've learnt enough to be wise

and loving

and at peace

and ready to receive and give pure light

we are excluded marginalized 

 

then we must go..

 

Odd

I appreciate the philosophical perspective that you have shared within your verses here, Tarek. It is an odd life/world most of the time and when we think we've figured it out, we soon find out that we were wrong. Love and peace to you,

Regis

Tarek, it has been a long time since you have shared a poem here!
It's a pleasure to read you again, though this poem exposes the foolish nature of humanity that rejects wisdom. It is a fact that too many fear what they cannot understand,so they remain ignorant.
Keep writing,maybe some will learn;-)!....Eileen

Wise expressions in "Oddities" take one to identify what MARGINALIZED really means: WHENEVER ONE EXCEEDS THE AVERAGE BEST LEARNED MIND, THERE IS TIME TO MOVE TO ANOTHER ATMOSPHERE.

I have enjoyed the reading of "Oddities".

I salute You, Poet Son of Apollo, and brother of ASCLEPIUS.

In respect and admiration,

Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU
