Staying Power

A flash in the planetary cause, a momentary held applause on the evolutionary roll of time paused; These last seconds on the timeline hesitate when man appears upon fostering the world's fate and the future lay waiting at the entry gate. He loots, he burns fastidious. he murders the people indigenous claiming conquering superiority as if it were religious. This is not religions toll, this was not humanity's goal, this in not Christian, Muslim or Jewish states this is a world on the brink of late bent on self destruction and hate. History's lesson remain unlearned distorted, twisted, scorned laying in a rubbled heap denial and lie making all life cheap. Is there such a creature as an honest man in power the hero of the hour stretching out his opened hand that reveals the gift to understand? We, the people of this earth take pride and gratitude of every birth and it's time the leaders do those that claim they represent every me and you. If we're not careful and diligent the earth may not be that resilient find your heart and your roots recognize the power in the truth.
