#poem, «Through a Glass Darkly»

Through a glass darkly…

Or in a cave looking up at the moon…

We cannot see as we are seen,

we cannot think as we are thought,

we cannot know as we are known.

we are not what we are thought to be

and thoughts are the energy that guides the will

and the will is the power that controls.

The freedom to grow, to believe, to accept,

is the enemy of the selfishness we absorb through each pore

of jaded skin,

sick with indifference,

hatred,

violence

and

greed.

Perhaps one day we will see

as we are seen…
