The following is dedicated to two of the People I shared Ode de Joy Acres with, Dedra Scrivener, and Dr. Lawrence "Bud" Urban who was unexpectedly uploaded to New Jerusalem one day. For a while my faith (knowledge actually) and writing is what kept me going.
Poem about an actual Event in History that led to our realization that we can fight back against death; the Person who first tried to preserve her dead Loved One with Flowers! And what this "mad act" led to!
You were young and happy way back then,
Powered with life when all the Earth was new!
In joy you ran and hugged the rain washed morn,
Danced delighted where the Mountain Wildflowers grew!
You gave your Tribe such unspoken joy!
You laughed at winds and leapt at Butterflies.
They must have questioned all their beliefs,
That such as you would sicken, fall and die!
Yet sad as that they sensed Man's coming faith.
How longing causes love's eternalling powers
They sung no hymns but showed their faith
The only way they could;
They spoke with Flowers!
If all Neanderthal should have a grave,
Or monument to what they were!
If we should honor those we superseded,
In what was surely evolution's cruelest hour!
Let it show these Able Brothers
Though clubbed to death by Cain,
Knew all of Human feelings,
All the pleasure, all the pain!
Not Savages! Not brutish Beasts were they!
Human as ourselves with Human Powers!
That we should learn the truth in such a way!
Silent, awesome, statements taught by Flowers!
