Poem
What is this loneliness that we all feel? It's with us all the time, and it seems to be beyond what's real. Why do we feel alone when there's nobody around? Why does it feel lonely when you hear no sound? This loneliness is quite unique; it stays with us whether we're strong or weak. Even when there are other people around, the loneliness seems to come up and tear us down. We try to get rid of it by having more friends, but it stays around even then. It never seems to go away; our bodies seem to be where it wants to stay. Why doesn't it let us go? It's like a dog and pony show. You get married and have a husband or wife; you think that is the end of the lonely life, but lo and behold, it's still true; loneliness is still there, now shared by two. I think I know where it comes from. I will say this once, and then I'm done. I think it came from, God and motherhood, because we haven't lived, on earth the way we should. Which means, not creating a world of love, and brotherhood. Jesus said love your neighbor, as you love yourself; somehow that lesson has been put on a shelf. The loneliness comes from us not loving each other as a human family. That is what has created this history. Not loving each other as sisters and brothers , not caring for each other. it has made us feel alone. It always feels that we are on our own. We are plagued by the fact that we don't love ourselves or each other, and the loneliness we feel comes from not, living in a world as one together. So there you have it, once again: individual love is not your friend; it's the love of all, that we must learn to share. That will remove this loneliness everywhere. Until that day has finally come loneliness will stay, as long as the life of the sun. And as long as we refuse to move in that direction, the love of life for us will have no love connection.
