The world is a scary place
Find solitude in gratitude & grace
In that space
Its harder to be erased
From the lines of lies circling our race
There is no immunity
For our need for community
To be more seen than heard
To be more than the poetry of the spoken word
Animals are gifted
They get it
& commit to seeing it thru
We won't; they do
Its the truth
Humans are so complicated
Soon our existence will be confiscated
The creator will take back what we took for granted
Living without loving, hurting one another, naturally outlandish
We live above "I'm sorry" & below "Me too"
Hiding behind what has been done to us, avoiding what we chose to do
That lack of empathy
Creates less allies & far too many enemies
There has to be a better way, to live without reproof
The animals know no shame
of living life like it's a game
they don't; we do
