We Are One
Life is what you make it,
Take your maker's mold and break it.
Lift yourself from the moldy basement,
the containment...
...facilities of the mind.
"Take this pill, it'll be just fine."
Now, chew it up and spit it out!
Enough with mindless mastication!
This mental masturbation,
Blurs the lines of your reality.
Turn off your reality TV!
For the sake of geniality.
It's time to change the station,
To change the history of this nation
And rearrange this puzzling mystery,
To better fit the situation.
Piece by piece,
Bit by bit,
Line by line...
...counterclockwise, we climb,
To the beating of broken hearts.
Bleeding our spoken arts—
In this open march against crime.
Left, right, left,
Rhyme by rhyme,
One step at a time...
...we reach for the stars,
To infinity and beyond,
In our affinity, we bond—
For, in this fight for humanity,
We are one!
Take your maker's mold and break it.
Lift yourself from the moldy basement,
the containment...
...facilities of the mind.
"Take this pill, it'll be just fine."
Now, chew it up and spit it out!
Enough with mindless mastication!
This mental masturbation,
Blurs the lines of your reality.
Turn off your reality TV!
For the sake of geniality.
It's time to change the station,
To change the history of this nation
And rearrange this puzzling mystery,
To better fit the situation.
Piece by piece,
Bit by bit,
Line by line...
...counterclockwise, we climb,
To the beating of broken hearts.
Bleeding our spoken arts—
In this open march against crime.
Left, right, left,
Rhyme by rhyme,
One step at a time...
...we reach for the stars,
To infinity and beyond,
In our affinity, we bond—
For, in this fight for humanity,
We are one!

Dear NB,
“...counterclockwise, we climb,
To the beating of broken hearts.
Bleeding our spoken arts—
In this open march against crime” stunning stanza. The entire piece is fabulous. Pure and raw. Truth and light this is a wonderfully perceptive write with awareness on current events and a fundamental understanding that being kind and welcoming should be so simple yet is always the crux of a fight. Awesome write. H🌷

H, you are the sweetest 🌹
Thank you so much for that thoughtful and perceptive commentary. I deeply appreciate your kind words... that happened to be my favorite line as well, heh... We all have to live on this Earth together, and it's the responsibility of the people of this Earth, as moral beings to stand up against the injustices against humanity and the world... Whatever those injustices may be.
Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by again... I am honored by the RL entry, and I appreciate you very much! ❤️

Love this poem. Reminds me of something Diamond Dave would write.
"facilities of the mind.
"Take this pill, it'll be just fine."
Now, chew it up and spit it out!
Enough with mindless mastication!"
Awesomeness 😁

Thanks for the awesome feedback, DevilsChild! I had a lot of fun with this one. I'm not too familiar with Diamond Dave's writing, so I guess I'm going to have to check out more his poetry 😁❤️

Powerful write & i had to chuckle at DC's comment about DiamondDave...you brought some rage to the page as he does! Love the layout, the meaning.. everything ...
The best stanza..
"This mental masturbation,
Blurs the lines of your reality.
Turn off your reality TV!
For the sake of geniality."
Amen! I hate these little addictions that build into bigger disasters. Awesome write, buddy!

"For in this fight for humanity, we are one!"...if only. We are one humanity in a fight for our own ideas is more how I see it. Love this poem though.
Counterclockwise we climb is superb, well f**king fantastic really. It's clever & reveals a glimpse of your artistic skill.
It's almost a splif line, I mean that in the highest regard, no pun intended. One could have hours of discussion analyzing these lines & I'm talking about art academics here.
I'll give you an example. One of my fav bands is an English rock bank called Status Quo. They had a hit, 'Paper Plane' back in 1972. One of the lines in the song was, "I turn my back away towards the sky." Now, when the writer started analyzing the song, he admitted it didn't make sense. It's like how can you be going forwards when in fact you are going backwards, lol. He put it down to drug use but it's more than that. It's tapping into the unconscious mind.
