When I needed you : only human

When I needed you

Sadly your faces were turned away

I longed to play

To live as a free spirit

To breathe

To dance

How did that come to be so bad

Well it was just a shut down world

That shamed and brutalized

The given life of a child

Why is it that they wonder

That grandiosity and vulnerability are paired

In the modern curse of our narcissism

After all a person who feels good enough inside

Does not have to lie about who they are

And adopt all of these manifold disguises

That sheild the most fundamental truths

Of their heart

Sadly we split and divide

And judge and shame and blame

Its a fucked up game

I wish we could end it

The other day I saw a homeless man’s eyes

Shining bright

There was Christ consciousness beaming out

From that oricular light

And then I saw a stitched up business man

In a suit too small

Preparing himself for battle

It struck me as sad

But then

Isnt this just the nature

Of our human condition?

Now I feel I am seen

I feel I am known

I know without a doubt

My heart has value

And so does yours

For really in the end

Aren’t you and I

Only human?
