the part and the whole

the part and the whole have an intimate relationship

in the best of times


not so much in our time


so much conflict

so little peace

and we humans are responsible for that situation


greed and the desire for power is the greatest curse of all

as far as i can see


this situation is a product of insecurity

and such a response leads to more widespread insecurity

as the children turn on their selves

and great suffering and sadness is upon the land


we humans are the only problem this planet has

and it doesn't have to be that way

but we have a lot of growing up to do


feeling sorry for our self will make our situation worse
