Hum and Be In

"I'm so tired of this burnt up planet and its lack of luster!", says my son as we cross the Earth's surface now scorched. I say, "I'm sorry Son but keep moving on, I did not Birth you in vain."

"And Yes, I am Tired, 
I'm spent!" 
writing socially conscience wit; 
for years I've been asking Why 
the shallow sheep 
will Live and Lie for radioactive Die

I see nothing great in the Powers That Be
Even my Colored Brethren can't cure the virus
Woe is me 
for passing on the burdens to my future seed
But today am I ready to Bleed.

Are we ready to change no matter the cost? 
I think on that Vote we've Lost,
Lost our Focus, Lost Our Souls, Lost the Will 
to fight or,
to give or,
to hold back
anything for our kids 
Too 
Hum and Be in 

Father and Mother And Holy Son makes Trinity
but here on this Earth there is no Euphony 
It's so beautiful how we travel through this galaxy 
Yet insist 
We persist to Catastrophe 
The next time you are Pissed or, Confused or, Drunk or, Abused
Just look beyond this Earth and enjoy the view 
Every light in the sky is a life form All its own 
if we Hum the Ohm while Alone 
the Vibe-Ration will lead Us home. 

I feel bliss when the Breeze and Ocean cover me
even though
I'm stuck on this Rock scared to Just 
Hum and Be in

So when I'm tired soles worn and weary 
please Just let me 
Hum an Be In

A forgotten song sung in Piece 
One I verse to calm the Beast
when all the Battles have been lost
When all this money has lost its cost
As the Caps melt into Waves 
and Life Giving Sun beams death rays
Sing a Song in Peace and let us 
Hum an Be Raised

Seth,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@"
