The Next Amendment

We,
as humans,
have the inalienable right
to bare hearts,
pouring molten
light
and lush vines
of dark,
to practice humanity
in all its patterns
and forms,
we, the living
revolutionary works of art
forever
in the process of becoming
what we already are.

  1. Practicing humanity. I like that. We all will forever be practicing humanity. If we could keep that in mind as we go along it would save us from so much heartache and hurting other peoples. Eventually maybe one day when this is world is dead and we are other life maybe we’ll see where and why all of this was, and how much growth was accomplished in this practice.
