if all time passed at once where would we each be
left standing desperately searching and alone
stage door idiots for all the world to see
and perhaps not by just one, who knows, not me
but remember there is a slim even guarded chance that
we each could be free
of famine, pain, distress and war as well as rage, hatred,
destruction and more
for some things we are better being without
such as closely accumulated fad phobias and unhealthy
amounts of self doubt
we each are truly one in the most essential way
bonded if not by blood then by the fast dawning day
JUDGMENT!
