Amateurish Coexistence


An eternal orbit propelled by inexistent forces of disagreeing masses Earth, so called by humans, screams complexity to exhaust mortal intelligence Magnified, that same intellectual capability thrusts itself in waves of ethnic survival Think two tides, opposite, fighting each other on the Normandy beaches The clashes of steel ruptured by explosions Blood spread like jelly across the planet’s soil Even now, three letters threaten vaporization Nuclear six-shots held beside every person’s temple Waiting on the insane man that opens his eyes and says “I’m invincible” While disgusting war and paradox treaties build walls Berlin and China, unified brains held under the guillotine of conflict Humans do the most irrational things Like destroying a culture as naïve as tribal dances and sun gods When our threads of life are barely a fraction different Why are civil wars the bloodiest? Suicidal nations in human conflagration In reality Each member of society participates in war to cleanse himself Cognizant of death, evil It is the innocence of human nature that beckons murder Because we see separate nations And not one Earth
