They, who walk all over others
are always suprised to find themselves toppling
when the treadupon manage to drag themselves out from below them.
If you are among the treadupon,
as we all are, in one sense or another,
seek to assist they who find themselves toppling
despite it all.
We're all in this together.
Tread not upon others, nor allow thyself to be tread upon.
"Neither a borrower nor a lender be."
Seek not
to put thyself ahead of others,
nor to put thyself behind any other,
but, rather, to establish
that every individual and group
resides firmly upon an edge
of consciousness-
of transcendence-
of philosophy-
of experience-
of happiness-
of progress-
of Life.
That is the path we,
as the Human species,
must take if we are to quell the sadistic demon
known only as "Humanity,"
and transmute that energy into something we've long since forgotten-
if indeed we ever knew it at all.
This is a challenge
to cooperate and transcend cultural bias.
This is a call to action,
and that action is an end to intentional war;
political, economic, religious, social, and personal.
This is a plea
for us to seek edification within ourselves and everyone.
Rise to it.
listen to it.
Empathize.
Don't stop until it's done,
and, then:
