Earth’s a mess & so are we…we all know which came first.
This rock spun along just fine & then was clearly cursed.

In our humble origins we served each other well.
Yet, we’re clever, curious; & consciousness befell.

We no longer felt “beside” but felt “above” instead.
When life is viewed from remote heights, empathy falls dead.

So, from an elevation, we started down the road…
Paths way past thresholds of care & into conquering mode.

Lost in our grand delusions, our stewardship squandered;
We’re kings of death & waste, living atop the conquered.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
