What are We Fighting For Anyway?

The earth is in a state of crisis -
We must give up
Our aggressive egoic
Warring behavior.

Not only between countries
But between ourselves
And the planet
Or face extinction.

We are all interconnected
And must change
From within first (Involution).

What are we fighting for anyway?
We are only an infinitesimal
Speck of dust
In a universe so vast
The human mind cannot begin
To comprehend it.

And -

A time line billions and billions
Of years long.
We are on this stage for not even
A billionth of a second.

Dearest Pilgrim,

While here, why not follow the
Path of love and humility
Set down by all the great mystics
And God inspired souls.
