Holding On To Humanity
Written By
Poet and Photographer J H Martin @ A Coat for a Monkey
慈悲
I will not lose you
Not to the illusions
Painted on
This fleeting dream
By the misinformation
By the fake news
By the conspiracies
No – I cannot
Control the ignorance
And – no – I cannot
Overthrow the suffering
But I can focus on you
Infinite
Timeless
Forever present
In this eternal morgue
The fire will not burn
And the ashes cannot scatter
The perfect diamond of your heart
Unexcelled
Unequalled
Beyond the system of mind
Beyond the words and their code
I could never lose you
