Matthew Anish Poet I do not know?

The Dharma Ends

Your fate is sealed
   Once a year
or so the book 
   tells us
   Death is not 
a thing to worship 
  Life is!
 When some small creature 
        crawled forth from the primeval 
ooze
  We were left with
the responsibility of 
   continuing the cycle
  We walk on gilded splinters 
and just maybe we should let 
Father Time decide our fate
  But I feel we should 
  resist to the end
  Stop the killing 
  Let peace reign 
  on our small planet
  which circles a life-giving star
  We are the stewards of 
  our biosphere
  We owe our exsitence
to a miracle

Connie Marcum Wong August 31, 2010 at 3:48 PM Matthew, I quite agree with your poem and relate most to your words "But I feel we should resist to the end Stop the killing Let peace reign" What a meaningful lesson emerges for those who are seeking souls. Your last few lines should be "our" manifesto! Blessings, Connie

Andrea Dietrich August 27, 2010 at 10:20 PM Hey, I just thought of something when I saw this again. Dharma was the society on Lost. The Dharma Initiative I think it was called. WEre you a Lost fan? And does this poem have something to do with that as well? Good idea about Dr. McDreamy, and maybe Dr. McSteamy as well!! I could think of one other doctor and do a trio of limericks. haha. LUv, Andrea
