Humanity's a Shared Identity

Normal's not the same as moral No one controls you  Go by what's right and wrong Not by what the herd tells you to do A herd's a group of animals You're a human being What matters is being, how things really are Not things' seeming   by Ephraim and Kristen

Learning's a thing It makes the mind sing Subtle pleasure it brings Unlike the body it fles on gentle wings Learning's a thing A thing hard to see You can't buy sell or eat it  But it brings us a different kind of glee Learning's a thing Some say it's impractical  But it's an ideal thing Not one that is tactical  Learning's a thing  A thing of the mind A mind has no guns or fists  But helps us peace find✌️  Learning's a Thing 📚🙏  by Kristen and Ephraim 

We have nothing to hate but hate itself Only love can drive out hate Hate wants to be defeated  By love, our truer fate  Hate, be not proud  Your loud madness shout down Love waits just below and you can only kill  Hate, kill yourself and let love the space fill Hate, you are nothing A mere absence of love One humanity can't become two and hate itself Through a human sky flies not a hawk, just a dove  No hater flies among us The shared heart knows no below, but only an above Hate, Be Not Proud  from Fighting Fascist Capitalism and Its Spirit of Hate  by Kristen and Ephraim With apologies to FDR, MLK and John Donne

The world's not separate The other is no culprit The perfect eye of unity In a nutshell wholly clumps it The other is an instant  From the soul you claim is yours  Unity's a constant That knows no ceilings or floo The world's not separate The other is no culprit Nothing, no one, need be excluded  Or gives cause to say just dump it from The Perfect Eye of Unity...and What It Leaves Out  by Ephraim and Kristen

Through the sky a wise hawk soars  But closer to earth there flies a kind dove The sky's a high place  But down on earth we need love Wisdom's a proud thing It supplies all the why's a cold mind can think of But only love can ease heartbreak  Ot begin to make earth a heaven above Heaven's where the heart is  Though the mind's leagues above  The earth's a heart place  Only here will we find what mere mortals dream of Peace on earth's an ideal phrase  How loudly it rings from the the mind far above! But there'll never be peace here Until there is love  Until There Is Love ⏰❤️  by Kristen and Ephraim 

Hope's a thread from which we weave a better world If it seems to be a thin thread it's because it's inward, not already unfurled Our ideals are threads from which a more human world is stitched  Hope and love and truth and peace are all part of the future's better mix  Elements in a garment with which history's long sadness is fixed 😿😿 by Ephraim and Kristen
