a poem

a poem
is the perspiration
of a life in motion

the pores
of your sanity must cry
salty tears

in order for you to laugh..........
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

if we never knew sadness
how would we identify joy
what tools would we use to measure our existence
how would we compare good with bad, with indifferent
if we never saw a sunset
how would we paint our masterpiece
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

A poem. A capture of a moment between hi and lo, east, west, right, left, up or down, pure journey, between thoughts.
