    Humanity

    Humanity

    Shouts echo
    In an empty chasm
    Blood flows evenly
    Downhill from this place
    Fire erupts around
    This so called sacred area
    Dark recesses of
    Bright minds will leave us all speechless
    Bright thoughts of abandoned minds
    Will be left behind
    We will all follow
    The same parade
    In time, the advances we make
    In this inhumane humanity
    Will always be
    Echoes in a seemingly empty chasm
    Like an unused volcano
    Erupting for the first time in years
    The next generation will overtake the current one
    We are all recycled pieces of matter
    Nothing we do
    Nothing we say
    Nothing we think
    Nothing we believe
    Nothing we have done
    Nothing we have said
    Nothing we thought
    Nothing we believed
    Will ever be the same again
    In this empty chasm
    With shouts entrancing our very beings
    With blood flowing from us freely
    An unheeded river
    Stopped by nothing
    Thought of by nothing
    But felt by all
    Humanity is connected hopelessly
    When skin is torn
    When bone is broke
    When heart is shattered
    When beliefs are scarcely spoken outwardly
    Part of something we cannot
    Partake in,
    Humanity is something
    All mortals share,
    Yet hardly show
    Or hardly known
    Only on a small scale.
    Nobody steps forward
    Nobody cares
    Nobody knows
    Nobody is curious
    Curious thrills
    Suspicious downs
    We go back to the beginning
    Back to the basics
    Back to where it all began
    To understand where it is all going.

    Alpha and Omega. From beginning to end and the path traveled in between. Great write.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
