common fountain …
in a world tugging,
pulling, drawing and quartering,
each soul apart,
and as mercy, humanity, love,
effortlessly, and resistance-free,
depart,
embracing ignorance, hugging credulous unreason,
fracturing human bones,
cartilage, tendons ripped,
shattered hearts, broken minds,
there can be but one answer,
simplistic as it may sound,
teach respect, not creed,
worship shared humanity,
shun lecherous greed,
then, and I believe only then,
may we truly, as one,
from our common fountain feed …
Beautiful. The way to peace. Thankyou. Respect.

Totally unrelated to your post, but my meds were doubled up today. Damn it’s bad and I know you know it so well. My anxiety skyrocketed today. When will people such as us ever find peace?

My favourite phrase from your poem today is probably ‘credulous unreason’. I love how you turn ‘incredulous reason’ around into something that’s not so commonly heard, and the impact of the words really stay with me. Wonderful poem as always ā”
