"When you know how to think,
it empowers you far beyond those
who only know what to think."
— Prof. Neil deGrasse Tyson
The setting sun
can't kill
what's already
been said and done.
Time heals,
congealing; scabbing; peeling,
leaving behind scars of what
we know
and know not.
Scars; hardened skin,
forming scales; forming armor
to protect us, to shell us
in a shelter of experience.
You may be born a broken person,
but that doesn't make you a broken person.
We can never understand it all,
merely understand more;
sympathy; empathy —
the antagonist of apathy.
Endless demands of senseless moments
bubbles within,
but there's no reason to bring
them to light.
For we can't both
become the same pawn,
or the same saint,
or be of the same fault
while you're stabbing me
through you;
stabbing them through me;
stabbing you through them
without realizing we are all
one
on this little world.
There is no reason
for a thing like hate
to exist at all:
Do not believe the lie.
