Thunder Storms

Thunder Storms

A wise man once said
that it is not only
the thirsty
who seek water,
but the water
seeks the thirsty
as well.

This is why that within
our cultures there are
a vast cornucopia
of ideas many of which
seem to conflict with
one another.

Nature is compassionate
as practicable to all
even those with whom
most disagree, so that
even for people
whose time has past
and whose ideas
are passing away,
life eases the transition,
with just enough events,
songs, and art
to soften a bit, their pains.

So when you are
bothered by the
terminally
nationalistic
chantings in
our mass media
or by the rants
of those who
who would have us
discriminate against
our fellow man
remember,
nature and mankind
are on the move
to a new kind of life,
and those are old attitudes
whose time
is passing away.
You know, thunder storms
howl the most
just before they
are gone.
