no one said it'd be easy

NO ONE SAID IT BE EASY:
Ethnicity. Religion. Culture. Economic-Classification. Gender.Sexual Orientation...

All the things which make us different...things which have us splinter from the whole into individual sub-groups. But, splintering is not enough-it never is because once we splinter, our splinters splinter and it goes on until everyone stands alone...together...but we don't see it that way...we won't...we maintain the UNITY of separation...we swear by it..while we deny its existence...

Identification. Assimilation. Belief in what's right/wrong. Belief in what's good/bad.

That which has us condemn one over the other...that which dictates what we shall or shall not tolerate..ALL THAT MAKES US DIFFERENT...THINGS WHICH HAVE US SPLINTER FROM THE WHOLE INTO INDIVIDUAL SUB-GROUPS...for different reasons-some SELF-IMPORTANT, some SELF-ISH, some just for recreating the idea, perception or validation of SELF...BUT ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS NEAR & VERY DEAR TO SELF...

We splinter in the name of whomever we call GOD...we splinter because too often we are in a state of collective denial and or confusion and or mass disagreement over what it means to BE or NOT BE...and IN THE NAME OF GOD WE SHOUT A RESOUNDING HALLELUJAH...AMEN

Nobody but nobody said it would be easy...and it sure AIN'T..STILL, we awaken each morning, many neglecting to give thanks for another day...or recognizing that another day was in fact given and that it is there for the GRACE of whomever you call GOD...

And as we splinter and splinter again, a Cosmic rumbling of the Earth can be felt as knees collectively fall to the ground in prayer asking, no begging for God's understanding and merccy on our souls and relief from that which we deem as the preessures created by everyday "LIFE"...we don't ask what we have given in return to deserve such "favor"...we don't ask what we can do to show understanding and mercy or provide relief..We just expect it without reciprocity, because it seems the World keeps spinning...regardless...

NO ONE BUT NO ONE EVER SAID IT WOULD BE EASY: Ethnicity. Religion. Culture. Economic-Classification. Gender. Sexual Orientation. Identification. Assimilation. Belief in what's right/what's wrong. Belief in what's good/what's bad...All that makes us different or alike. All that makes us who we are or are not...All that constitutes ALL...

It's a shame that people can't see the BEAUTY in those differences! THAT is what makes humanity so interesting. Let's wake up the MASSES!!!
