On Humanity
(all about contradictions)
The choices of few: broken, docile, complicit, or intellectual.
Who decides who lives—or who dies?
Who decides who has intellect—or who has knowledge?
Does the sun ask permission to glow?
A bird flew over the moon. The moon jumped on the cow’s back.
A woman sat next to a woman—on a train to Atlanta.
A man swam upstream—to avoid fish.
Vote your conscience… or eat apple pie with a spoon.
Oppress the tree.
Darkness lifts Earth’s problems—upon the shoulders of Jupiter.
Our hip bone is connected to our eyes.
Our lips are connected to our hands.
Possibility is responsibility.
