Congratulations! You succeeded.
I am a dead man walking.
(And so are you.)
Tried, convicted and sentenced to burial
By a select, prejudiced, unforgiving cohort
Relatively … hopefully temporarily …
Not sane of mind.
You HAVE buried me.
(Not that you didn’t have help,
Including self!)
HOWEVER!!! … I’m not looking for pity.
(There are many more dead than I in the eyes and heartlessness & soullessness of others.
Homeless. Undocumented immigrants.
War ravaged populations.
Weather and climate change devastated humans & other biota.
Poor and disenfranchised.
Mentally & physically challenged. …
Many other species.
Out of sight and out of minds. …
Different from the “appropriate” norm
Which does not exist.
Not the way it is “supposed to be”.)
I’m not looking for pity!
My dynamic symbiosis with you HAS become dead men walking.
I DO have temporal & spatial saudades,
Sadness and emptiness. …
YET … I also have so very much love, happiness, positive energy/positive symbioses, hope … all around me;
So much love, happiness, positive energy/symbioses, hope within me.
I’m not looking for pity!!
Just forgiveness.
(And, of course, for living poorly-action toward change …
Within & without, locally and globally;
For the have-nots … and all … of Eaarth.)
For Louise Katherine Kneuper Martin wisdom.
For the resurrection from death by all.
