Original Blood

it has often been said
blood is thicker than water
meaning
your blood born relates
are what counts
they are stuck with you

not in this day and age
at least not always

and yet,
aren't we all related by blood
sharing the original blood
of the earth

how have we lost the way of life
in which all things are a part

help me out here
what has happened
