Who can do or undo what has been
done to you and me? I ask that to myself
when viewing videos of newborn infants
I watch on Facebook. So clean-slate
pure of mind these, so helpless, speech-
less and blind, without the command of
movement or word to explain or define.
What in heaven’s name is happening to
me? What is now is everything, who
can even imagine what shall become
of me? We have all been there, you
see, in the beginning. No questions,
no Earth, heaven or hell, no answers
to even understand. You merely and
barely survive until the assigns arrive.
Never choosing or knowing who that
will be, stable, responsible or otherwise.
You tremble, cry, flail arms and legs
and open your eyes. Oh, if you only
knew the world of possibilities which
awaits you? Kings and Queens, saints
and sinners all began the same. What
happens to them after that shall align
or malign and define such matters.
Good, bad or indifferent? Live and
learn, they say. Wait and see. What
will be, will be. Given the process,
you and others shall reap the benefits
or suffer.
Gradually and hopefully we shall
awaken to ths gravity of our situation.
