Our Keeper

We've danced
Before
The gesture
Slams
We've donated
Our live-r
Well before
Some summer gift cancels
Out defeatist
Gloom
We choose
Choice
Bass trumps
No truth
Body must reuse
Voice
Listen
As
Life evolves
We've all been
Messianic
Before ego caught us
Isolation was the teacher
Resilience was always
Our
Keeper.

Our Own

It's our own damn fault. Our own fault for turning killers into t.v. stars. Our own fault for valuing materialism over humanity. Our own fault for feeling so insecure and paranoid that we arm ourselves with more weapons than an individual needs. Our own fault for insulting each other and pushing each other away. But most of all it is our own damn fault for believing we are separate from everything and everyone! WE ARE ALL INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT! How many times must this be said until it finally sinks in? We help one another survive!
