Our consciousness is rising

Haibun: Bodhisattva II
Tell me about your life,
the one hidden from view.
Odysseus has nothing on you,
your veiled celebrity
and inheritance of justice.
For all of our sakes
This is for humanity
Not every one

Haibun Poem: Inheritance
History is a narrative,
tomes written by the victors,
stories bequeathed to us children
who merely play
among the cast offs of giants.
We inheritors
Our shacks around palaces
Digging in the dirt
