I see you
I feel you!
And
Hear you!

Those are words of comfort, and I am hurt! Hurt that I must feel it. Sad that I must feel empty of light. Empty of compassion, and empty of purpose, but only for a moment, only for a little moment.

You chose me, remember? It is your hope, not mine you wrestle with. The fire and intense pain made me look away, but only for a moment.

You wanted me to come to you. Here I am. So what now? Are we always going to try to teach each other something? We are not different you and I. Our time doesn’t have to be short.

Are you going to keep being cowards, a weak nothing of a race? Did you go to the party you paid for? What do you want from me? You have seen me, smelled me, and now feel me. Where is your Hate? What is Love? Have you never met something real outside yourself?

I am going to keep surprising you, you know. I know the answer, but you won’t have it because winning is more important to you than doing what's right and they are not the same thing my childern.  You lie to yourselves as much as the rest of us do. We are here in the quagmire too. And you are afraid of getting everything you deeply want.

I am here. You only have to ask me, Broken Ones. The answer comes in a gift. A gift!

She bled you dry and made you mad. You let her, just as I let you. You don’t understand the steps to my madness because you forget how to feel outside your pain.

Children, you are saving no one, dears, and it’s not your rite to play the devil. You won’t give me mine for a Goddamn second!

She’s lovely isn’t she? And it makes you that much more angry doesn’t it? To actually get what you want?

This one comes knowing, but pretending to not know. Her Ego actually loves you. A gift she asked to give.

I am here,
I am here,
I am here!

I am here,
I am here,
My children,
My Heart.

I rise up!

To crush down that which oppresses me!

No more!

I rise up!

Your Father is proud

My Lover

Your Father

Respect Him

Respect Yourselves

I rise up

My Children
My Heart.

    Yes! I am so happy you hear the essence and plea of my heart. Humans or anything that is form is the lovechild of the great two sentinels , the positive and negative forces are Lovers! We are God right now already. We have to be authentically our own person that is the gift! When we love ourselves we than can love each other. Rise up my son!

    I gather from this poem the complex state of our collective human condition: the negative and positive dynamics we all share with each other, and an overall desire and hope (throughout the poem) for respect and unity rather than division and antipathy. I read this poem three times—am I even close?

    I particularly thought that the mystical language closing the poem was a unique touch which added a euphoric feeling to the work and ‘spiritualized’ the poem’s plea.

    Yes. I enjoyed this piece very much.

      have you seen the movie Moana? We have to face our inner demons and make peace that we are made of good and evil
