Mankind Poems

The Dangers of Mankind is Man

Mara’s hair colour touched by time, her voice hedged—struggling to find its way to me
She had once tried to kill herself.
My flippant thought: Did you succeed?
She looked as she had.

An abandoned relic, bopped-up, surfacing
in her drenched memories—Arbeit macht frei.
The stench of horror clings to her bare flesh,
worn as a wetsuit of near death, 
unwashable, unforgettable—always

Peace In Our Time

It is what it is
and no mistaking
which no one can deny
by hiding or faking
but if we can
all agree to disagree
and let it be
one day things may
turn out favourably
but the situation currently
is not quite right
in fact it's completely
out of hand
around the world
throughout the land
an act of God is not enough
more than a miracle
is needed
for all mankind
but

Mankind Comes in Divers Colors

       Each color, in multiple shades

Root Of All Evil

Isn't it funny how people see money
pieces of metal so very small
there's not a lot you can do
with a penny or two
money itself has really no uses at all
it used to be beads and once it was shells
at least you could wear them and buy or sell
how many have a dim view of money
pieces of

No Calling Her Decrepit

"As the day ends, one is closer to heaven." By Poet

My neighbor is old,
she can be very bold.
Loving to wear lots of fancy gold,
and decrepit I am told.

You know age is just a thing,
numbers one wants to ring.

How old are you,
that number may make you blue.
They tell me I am a decrepit ninety-two,
but I can

Point of No Return

The point of no return could be global or individual 
but never is it in the middle. 

It is a horizon of dreams aloft in hope held by tentative
strands of rope that weaken and deny what hearts are
seeking.  It is love, stirred with hate that drips need to 
bleed us, heal us and force

Sing broken beyond mankind ii

 When the river failed I was asleep and the birds breaking to air made no sound



because I speak

Monuments went up commemorating the end of World War II
It wasn't so long ago in Europe, their scars still show ~

A long and vicious war with horrific consequences
So much to rebuild but it was the dawn of a new day
Surely mankind had learned its lessons

One flesh in morning light

Long ago, when the sun and earth were one flesh held tight
When male and female were one light
Shining as the white moon, turning as the wheel of night
We had immeasurable might 
Because we had four legs, four ears, eight eyes and four hands 
We had two faces that looked towards the heavenly lands

Hope nailed to the cross

"After Auschwitz, there is no poetry" - Theodor W. Adorno

hope nailed to the cross
mankind at its darkest hour
there's no forgetting

Optimistic Spring

spring is the proof that nature is forgiving
it's willing to wipe the slate clean
with winter snows on then off again
hoping that mankind will have grown up
and decided to be much more respectful

Progess

I
cannot
imagine
future living
without eyes tearing
while screams chest develop -
no acceptance views sooth me -
wanting release for inner peace
seems a futile painful endeavor
I hear heaven's precious angels crying -
relationships   worship   purpose tainted
truth will be lost as dysfunctions grow -
artificial intelligence
violates all hearts   minds   souls -
it is not progressive
but sick
