Notes About The Poem

 

OF COSMIC TERRESTRIAL HUMANITY

 

We were born 

Creatures of love,

And for a while

wW remained so;

Unaware of knowing

And learning 

Anything else:-

 

Then, as if

By a human-like

Summer solstice,

We tilted

Towards becoming

Creatures of hate:-

 

Now, we find ourselves,

Being confused, vacillating

Creatures of life, caught

In human-like equinoxes 

Of love and hate,

On the terrestrial equator

Of human suffering:

Caught between earthly

Jaws of justice and injustice:-

 

Here, in the cosmic

Terrestrial nature

Of our humanity,

So much is taught 

And learned 

In our life’s seasons,

As we bloom and grow

From the womb to the tomb:-

Towards becoming

Being confused, vacillating

In human-like equinoxes 
Of love and hate,
On the terrestrial equator
Of human suffering:
Caught between earthly

Here, in the cosmic

Of our humanity,
So much is taught 
And learned 
In our life’s seasons,
As we bloom and grow
From the womb to the tomb:-
