Co-Conceiving
Co-Conceiving
flying above
viewing below
situations simmering
all seem aglow
differences heated
by lack of understanding
wanting to be right
often demanding
sometimes between two
but often much more
organizations, companies
even countries at war
it is time for each one
to sit down and feel
what can we do to
end suffering and heal
what can we birth
co-conceived by us all
a harmonious world
with no divisional wall
it is simple, so simple
as we’ll very soon discover
letting go of the past
and honouring each as our mother
a mother who birthed us
nurtured and taught
loved us unconditionally
gave what we sought
yes to different perspectives
the richness of diversity
now to honour our differences
and co-conceive a new nursery
a nursery full
of new ways to be
nurtured along
until all can be free
no more war
no more suffering
empowered to be
living in harmony
looking after all three
you, me and we

Rage and a Death Toll or a New Future by Design
Rage and a Death Toll
or a New Future by Design
atrocities witnessed
the inhumane – explain!
why do we live this way?
there is so much pain
simple alignment is like 6 o’clock
pointing at 6 and at 12 the hands interlock
a straight line so simple and what does it say?
opposite sides have a purpose
and can point to a way
opposite sides perhaps but as numbers the same
just holding different positions in a circular game
each has a perspective to share with the other
change positions sometime and see as another
we are not born with anger
we are not born with hate
and the fear that intimidates
comes from experience that predates
there is a point when one can take no more
feeling helpless, trapped, abused, ignored
perhaps all other avenues have been explored
too much has been held, one must release
so the rage erupts and the harm can increase
ho’oponopono, one way to change the cycles
being remorseful, saying we’re sorry
taking on responsibility for all, asking for forgiveness
expressing gratitude for the forgiveness granted
and offering love as a cherished seed to be planted
we can also write, design a new revision
to retell a story is a good decision
re-writing the story can take some work
go back to the beginning where the shadows lurk
change the story line using the same characters
can they show love and respect, creating new vectors?
can they embody an awareness so there’s never neglect?
how would we want this story to end? or connect?
how will it inspect, protect, correct, perfect?
what would be the result from the new story we direct?
no more haunting
no more fear
change the story, the atmosphere clear
and then all sequels will expand
in a new direction at our command
“be the change we want to have”
replace the rage by going to the source
create a new future by designing a new course
and then enter the new, healed from remorse
