HUMANITY OR INSANITY?

Without humanity

there is only insanity.

Children kill themselves and one another,

forgetting we are all sister and brother,

with guns and weapons of war

until no one feels safe anymore.

When humanity is not in play

the other becomes easy prey,

to satisfy weak ego’s need

for power to feed their greed.

Self-loathing hides behind the cloud

stirred up as sycophants run, wowed

by the big man’s stolen wealth and fame,

in an endless hateful, meaningless game.

Without humanity 

there is only insanity.

SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL

I will not write one more word

other than those which rise on their own,

without my preset notions of what is real.

I see a world spinning out of control,

a globe spun by frantic hands on its curves.

It sits atop the desks of politicians, bankers and CEOs.

Perhaps the world merely sits in its place

and it is we who spin tales and define its space.

Perhaps it is we who determine earth’s pace.

Perhaps Earth is the mother telling us

“Keep your hands to yourself.”

“Leave your brother and sister alone.”

“Stop causing trouble.”

Perhaps it we who are spinning

out of control.
