Haiku

A thousand ashen whys
windblown to where souls turn to sand
(that) refill(s) the hourglass

Refill the hourglass
With dreams and hope
Make someone smile today

make someone smile today
where burnt grass burst into tears
so hard to accomplish

Hard to accomplish
To smile at the reflection
Day in,Day out

Very good Poe-etry!

Thanks, Frankie - especially since I haven't read his poetry

day in, day out,
grain waves under gentle sunlight
harvest for all

corpses in my eyes
bare and barren of all life
nothing seems to change

Nothing seems to change
Am I always to be alone
She walks slowly out of the mist

she walks slowly out of the mist
rescueboat waited for
an endless day of helping hands

Endless day of helping hands
Caress, kiss. Misses.
Our deepest regrets, dear Whale

Shush!
For ATL
sleeps

caress with uncommon care

What point is life if our humanity is dead?

Within our subjective human experience - whatever point we find in it.
Outside it - whatever point there may or may not be; we wouldn't know - we only have our subjective experience.

I often wonder what point our ancestors found in their life; for hundreds of generations, their life would have struggled to compare favourably to that of Syrians today. Better alive than dead?...

why this, why that?
this is
because that is.

You're comparing two different civilizations, one of which today would be viewed as barbaric and backwards, proving that we havent progressed at all as human beings.

During that time, their life was acceptable to them, the fight for survival, survival of the fittest, the fastest, the biggest, the stronger - but now? Are we insinuating that seeing thousands being killed daily is somehow normal and acceptable?
