OF COSMIC TERREATRIAL HUMANITY

OF COSMIC TERRESTRIAL HUMANITY

We were born 
Creatures of love,
And for a while
We remained so;
Unaware of knowing
And learning 
Anything else:-

Then, as if
By a human-like
Summer solstice,
We tilted
Towards becoming
Creatures of hate:-

Now, we find ourselves,
Being confused, vacillating
Creatures of life, caught
In human-like equinoxes 
Of love and hate,
On the terrestrial equator
Of human suffering:
Caught between earthly
Jaws of justice and injustice:-

Here, in the cosmic
Terrestrial nature
Of our humanity,
So much is taught 
And learned 
In our life’s seasons,
As we bloom and grow
From the womb to the tomb:-
