Many different birds flying,
Sharing the freedom that comes
With flight,
But there is only one sky.
None of them own a Particular Spot or
Area in the sky, it is shared by all.
Someone will point out that some birds are more
Predatory and prey on other birds.
Some do have their Own territory, but
That is on the ground, not in the sky.
There are Quite a few different types of humans,
But they are all still Human;
We all share the same
Planet.
It is time that we realize the Earth
Belongs to everyone,
Equally.

We must Not let the
Hope we have as brothers,
Fly out the window like a bird soars
Into the sky.
Let your spirit soar
Instead, free like a bird.
Be the
Blessing that you are to all
That you meet, give of
Yourself; your gift will
Return to you.
This Is the mystery of
Love.
It comes back stronger
Than before.

Thank you so much @fenngen, I really do appreciate that you appreciated my meaning.
And you are so very right, love is apparent, but not real in this world of ours.
This is demonstrated daily in the news and the rages that hit various places
In the world on any given day. People don't know what love really is, so it seems

I like this, but I would tend to disagree and say that all humans are not "human." Like the guy I just tweeted about in Belgium, in a video someone took of the bastard on a train, putting his finger in his mouth and then rubbing it on the train pole.
He is a biological terrorist. I don't believe such scum are "human" at all.

Aye, there are some of those around. We can't let them bring us down to their levels.
They are human, they are just distanced for some reason from their humanity.

Aye, we know what we should and shouldn't be doing. That is, some of us know. That kind of wisdom can be found in all people's ancient past and lore. Did everybody follow the creed back then? hardly. If that were the case, there wouldn't be drama in ancient stories.
Still, the more advanced and complex lives we live, the more we forget what's important. Or seem unable to act upon it. Slowing down is a hard thing for the modern mindset.

All valid points @manoldonchev, yet as I just said to another, we can't let this sort of thing remove us from our own awareness of our humanity.
Things won't get better that way.

I thought we were farther removed, better educated than to let the media generate this level of panic.
I'm just shaking my head. Will I be able to get to my Dr on Monday? That is taking it personally,
And I don't mean to seem selfish. It is just that it is SO UNNECESSARY. The world isn't
Ending... yet. People may be testing positive, but they are not dying in droves.
The flu has a greater fatality rate EVERY YEAR, and people are stupid
About getting vaccines for that, yet here we have something
Less deadly, less pervasive, and there is panic.
Such stupidity, in my humble opinion.

Beautiful gift you gave me on this day, a beautiful poem that feeds the soul. For me love comes from God.

Good morning @carolinacardoza, thank you for your comment.
Of course love comes from God, but after all:
Matthew 12:30-31 "Jesus replied:
So HE commanded us to love each other. I read a couple of translations that read "Love each other as I(Jesus) have loved you".
So the bottom line and the operative word is LOVE.

Yes @oneray, it IS much more than a gift, it is a joy, an obligation to each other,and
A debt we owe to each other. We need to pay it forward.

I feel as if my writing is very repetitive, saying the same things over and over
Year after year, but when the message is "Hope, Love and Brotherhood"
Can it ever be said too often? Maybe one day it will sink in to the
Rest of the world. My most common 'trope' is that of a
Rippling pool (being each of us) sending out
Waves of love in all directions for all
Mankind, forever.

What is going on down there, the government shutting the city down yet?

You'd think so.
Good morning @janton, schools are closed (for the most part) or they will be soon.
All the sports events (or most of them) all the conventions (or most of them) many city government meetings etc etc ...all closed for now.
I haven't been to Kroger, though I need to go get some milk, but according to what I saw on the news from Gwinnett county yesterday, the stores will be devoid of toilet paper (of all the bloody stupidity, that one I just don't understand) and very probably milk.
It's insane

Contradiction is very deep within us, we only can make balance between the inner self and everything that surrounds us and live through a path of well made choices. Animals have no ego they live, kill and die keeping the balance of nature, no moral considerations in all of that.
Yo have shared a beautiful poem to make us reflect in our own existence in this time and space!!
