What-then could be... ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If our-hate wanted nothing more...
nothing more... but the best
~~ for-another, itself... ? ~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saw the reality, and-
felt-the-evidence, was-
shown the light in view
of-the-division that-has-
~ risen; taken-root-and-
sprouted-up...  growing-
~ from-the-cold center; of ~
~ its heart of greed, the selfish, 
~ poisonous desire for everything ~
~ more, moving-toward the hour of its ~
~ isolation, choking-out-all-that-is genuine,
advancing-onward within-this belief, and-yes
what-if-it-was-awakened for the first time, to
the-fallacies-of-its-own-faithless and complete-
~~~~~~~~~~~ denial of its, ~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
~ lack-of trust its ~
hopeless condition.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes what-if through
perfect kindness,
it-was provided-
another way... !

~ Was-shown- ~
~ the      hard    sting, ~
~ the-    absent-    hand- ~
~ of-its-ugliness, ~
~ prejudice, ~
~ all-the- ~
~ tears-it- ~
~ caused- ~
~ that- ~
~ have-
~ fallen-
~ in- ~
~ despair. ~
