How can we appreciate and love the light
Without having been afraid in the dark?
When once we behaved with beastly rage
Transfixed on surviving at all costs
Blind to our own suffering
Predators to ourselves
Falling behind and still yet to transcend
All the ill that we do
A commerce of artifice and empty words...

(Are we certain
                            To be continued....)
Lessons of old....
