Aliveness and Living

The illustrious avenues of life advertised in shiny packages
Of desires, hopes, and wishes often offered for values of living
Have brought many a weary mind to it's knees
Trying to ascend to the values of what is seen as quality's equality
While every day wantonness become labeled stresses
Day to day living chastised as a burden for prefabbed happiness
Only to separate the living cares of we have enough into I want's
People, the earth's most valuable resource, depreciating
Their own for a measure of social status never fully obtainable
While disregarding our humanity for over hyped adventures
Never satisfying the inner needs of the persons in search of fulfillment
Always in want of newness to appropriately fit their lack
Of togetherness where the inner person's emotions are consistently healing
Their basic humanity soothed in the knowing's of securities completeness
Always searching outside their self for what only abides within
Minds as they wonder about living their life before them
Souls in search of emotional balms to sate, to appease their true natures
Bodies as they carry the responsibilities of living through out years of living
Relationships in all their various forms seeking to please another
With the inner portions of their own humanness and their needs to belong
In a world where global demands infiltrate the fibers of our beings
With the demands that we must meet standardized responsibilities
For the progression of our species universal survival in the deepened recesses
Of galactical integrations which theorize our philosophies commitment's
Only to have to accept our microscopic lives as they are in comparison
With such a broad picture of our global humanness realizing in the big picture
Our only existence is in the now where we are living with those we share life
Among deceased civilizations, religions, and out fits of patrimonial testaments
Who in declaring their own greatness forgot the peoples upon whose lives
Made all that we see, all that we believe, and all that they built and destroyed
Declaring their truths, their untruths, their sainthoods and their down falls
As images of such a man worthy to be admired to live an existence
In the planetary vastness of spiraling galaxies surrounding our own smallness
Pledging which lives are worthy of human decencies and which are not
Planning and programming their intentfulness to humanity
While the plight of the people reach out with words of we care too
We hope as well, we are willing to do our parts, we are you're greatest
Victories and defeats as they write their stories within our flesh
Upon the brows of our children as to what they proclaim and what they accomplish
Unable to divide the worth of one child's life from another
No matter the classification of their living for all eyes will behold
Themselves as they are defining all other's logic for doings
For we are all the products of imaginations never lacking revelation
Never capable of dividing what is said from what occurs in realities
Of men and women the children societies have merged into this present day
While forecasting their plans of tomorrows waiting to be fulfilled
Amongst us all as they will without our knowledge or consents
While we go about our daily life in our basic humanness applying
All that we know to prayerfully grow into our lives we wish to live
