SUPERFICIAL SOVEREIGNTY AGAINST A DEEPER SELF-EXPRESSION

Are we to reject a greater unity for the sake of a superficial sovereignty. For does not the richness of every need its canvas. And every flower deserve a special place in the garden. As every star sits in the nights sky belonging to a constellation. I never hear them complaining only gently sparkling. Are we to reverse down a dark alley not knowing where we are going. Do we wish to offer a clenched fist or are we to open our hand and heart. Have we become so inwardly looking that we switch of our lights close our eyes as a room full of blind nations continue to fight. Are we to be influenced by papers that serendipitously cloud the difference between EU immigrants and Syrian refugee's. As Rupert Murdoch and corperate power divides and conquers. Trillions gather of shore sit on the world like a giant cancer and all we do is fight with each other. As they in circle us with their power we become the entertainment at their coliseum. Or do we pour love within the gaps becoming all so much closer bringing back all our power. Are we to live in a shrinking world where other people's problems do not matter. Is it time to close our eyes or time to look in the mirror. Out out out keep the bad guys out as though our hands were clean that we had never done anything wrong. Are we we to cling to a penny pinching surface or delve into the depths of our character looking for a deeper treasure that truly matters. Will not the true values of our heart not proper when connected more deeply on the inside and out. By clinging to a superficial sovereignty we may find ourselves also clinging to a wobbly mast. As our island drifts of into a rough sea we maybe to involved with surviving that we forget who we truly are.
