I tremble, as her cold blue
Lips shout reality. No fractioned hue
Of life remains of her we knew

As our little one. A heavy mist
Descends. To never again be kissed
By her sweet innocence. I resist

The pain that forms so deep
Within but cannot help but weep
And weep.....she's so fresh asleep.

What has caused this flower
Of the sun to shed the power
Of life at such an early hour?

Why has this growing pearl rare
And radiant, with skyfilled eyes fair
And magical, left our mortal care?

How may we again start along our
Way with such a missing part?
With such an anguish in our heart?

I do not know.
But I weep for us
My love
I weep for us.

Hurting others causes juice
Hurting self causes juice
Hurting deeply causes juice
Ever pushing downward mind

Human brains
       out of control
Wonderful
       survival mechanism
Not very smart
       though
Nor compassionate

"And the World is Human"

Children laugh in their innocent play
A young man loves his wife today
A twice worn dress is thrown away
        And the world is human.

An unknowing child is lost then found
A bleeding man attracts a crowd
The carousing deaf like their music loud
        And the world is human.

A ****** man has a love for life
A pious man berates his wife
A robust man knows pain and strife
        And the world is human.

In all the lands there's old and new
And time flows on for me and you
There are many wonders left it's true
        And the world is human.

How to find self-esteem
First
Change the hair of a turtle
From black
To red

How hopefully we live the lie
The truth        a culprit        to deny
How elegant the logic's curve
We fashion existence        heart and nerve
Alpha cause of that we seek
Without self knowledge        savant trick
