Slates of Innocence

The eagle is hurting – 
His wings snipped,
his majesty vacated;
replaced by the rats
of pigeons: Just a gray
common color – what
is left of a flamboyant soul
once the spectrum of individuality
is gone – bleached out by
Marxist designers and
and pressers. They plan for
the people the garments 
of slaves – hoarding Gucci's 
and Cassini's for themselves 
and profligate offspring – 

Equality seldom reaches
beyond their walls...
never approaching their
Elite doorsteps, paved 
with slates of innocence....

True Harry; when the focus is on self, any good that may have been accomplished for the world, is generally gone when self is gone -- or, the imagined good, just propagates a lot of other selves. If everyone lived entirely for others, humanities physical well being and spiritual development, one would need not waste a second on self. Blessings my friend. Let us pray together for world unity and prosperity. A better year for all creation. Blessings!

Hi P.S.. Blessings my friend! We write our messages, and pray, Blinkers will come off, and some ears will get unclogged.
