Don’t wear your damage
As blame
But as a life lived
Too close to the sun
Exhibit your pain like art
Let no two joys be the same

The Sum
Things I was right about
Few
Things I wrong about about
Some
How much in the end does it matter?
To that question I am numb

Everyone Thinks
Everyone thinks
The other side stinks
That they feel entitled
To that not earned
Like Nero
We fiddle
Don’t move to the middle
Whilst we burn

Be Human
Smile
Lose ground
Until
The end
Feel joy
It goes around
Without us
My friend
Be human
Do not fear
Feel love
Do not pretend

Need Is The Driver
For the world to be off the rails
It would have to have had them
Need is the driver
There is no Lego playset
Just selection

The Kindness Engine
Kindness is the creation of clarity
Life is never empty of pain
Value empathy not insularity
The path to balance writ plain

Charred Organic Postcards
Books disregard
Limits of time
Space and Censorship
They are
The final charred
Organic postcards
Until the fiery
Complete end

Hatred Is Create By Self Narrative
Hatred is created by self narrative
Narrative is human to the core
To find the way to peace
Create stories in your mind no more
Gene G. McLaughlin 2014
Evolved Not Granted
Kindness and empathy exist
Without us inventing them
Traits evolved
Not granted
Lessons learned
Over millenniums
Not centuries

The Who The What You Love
In pain
Or distress
Or in the end
You don’t remember
The cause of them
At the end of it all
You recall
The who
The what
You love
