People of Mystery

Should doomsday prophesies prove true and our planet’s life cycles renew mysteries of “people” will be more than a few Provocative questions may await future life forms blessed with intellects surpassing our norm -- creatures who live without doing harm If they decipher man’s history what will they think of our great mystery -- the one we refer to as bigotry Black labs, gold retrievers sleep side by side wild stallions and mustangs on prairies ride both red ants and black, free to colonize More-evolved species might not comprehend how women workers were paid less than men and why “free speech” was not just a given Questions would most certainly arise how any believer in God denies the right to free worship without compromise Indeed such mysteries in man’s history would leave a perplexing legacy sure to confound any new specie New beings may thrive on diversity of religion and genealogy and speak of our inferiority

The problem is we don't seem able to learn from the past. Discrimination has been a problem throughout the centuries. Thanks, my friend. Love, Carolyn
