Description
We are cut from the same fleshborrowed ribs
sinew
naivety
Exposed in our softness we are
invisible
a potential afterthought in the
lexicons of history.
But sometimes, my Son
you must lay down your life
if you wish to
change
the
world.
-D.E.M

afterthought's forethought. commit to the path no matter where it takes you, and stay the course. you will get there in time.
I need this just now. I'm thinking about doing something useful and I need to follow through.

Thank you!
Sometimes ideas just pop in my head...usually at breakfast.
Or when I'm not paying attention at someplace I should be paying attention.

Lol I'm not THAT distracted!

LOL meetings are prime for poetry!
Nothing screams zone out and day dream. Especially if it's a teleconference!

This is brilliant. I love the first stanza, your structure and choice of language gives it a real poetic brutality.
