i can't leave my own vicinity

i thought I was just part of a world

but I can't escape my own identity

from my own premises I can't be hurled

i tried to fly all through the sky

and strange me-less wings unfurl 

but I can't escape my own vicinity

because the me I flee's a thing within me curled


the me I flee is me you see

i'm not them or him or thee

the me I run from is the me that's me

i can't become a fish or flea

or turn into a tree or tooth, towel or cup of tea

the me I tried hard not to be, I think that you will see 

is the me that I always was and that I'll always be 


signed, 

all the universe

wait a minute..i'm me!

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
