Indifferent Blaze

Until we understand that the color of our soul means more than the color of our skin, we will always be in a world filled with pain. This universe is filled with such an array of wonderous things, and yet we, as a people, cannot understand that uniqueness is an asset not a hinderance. Even if we were all blind, or deaf, or mute, people would still find a way to segregate. The loss of understanding is what kills us all today. If only we could truly walk a mile in someone else's shoes, as the saying goes, we might see, hear, and speak from the place where it is about empathy not indifference.

It seems that we are all just waiting for the end. For the stupidity of this human race to wipe itself out, and evolution to be given another chance at getting it right. What else but being suicidal would account for the fact that we elect hate, corruption, and greed to lead us. Why would we allow for our fellow brothers and sisters to face starvation and dehydration. The value of material wealth still obscurs the fact that we are killing our world and us with it. The loss of our water, our air, and our safety mean nothing in comparison to the desire for more; more cars, houses, and power, indifferent at the cost.

There is ambition to go out in a blaze of fire,and maybe that is why some believe hell to filled with flames. We are creating a self-fulfilled proficy and soon it will be too late to change the course being set by us. How much time left, and even if there is enought time, where to even begin? Combat the discrimination, show love and kindness. This is what should be taught to the children. To smile in the face of hate and forgive is a challenge that probably won't be passed by today's human race. Cry out loud and long, weep for the lost opportunities, and rage at the injustice and indifferance all around. There will be peace one day, but probably no people to enjoy it. Rejoice that soon enough there will be nothing but the crackling sound from the blaze ignited and then silence, finally.
