Magnificent:
'Like a princely star, we consume our
very soul,
to throw light into the darkest voids
Other times, we ourselves become
black hole beggars,
consuming all the light around us'

To love or be loved:
To love or be loved – equated to which wing of the eagle, is more important. Really liked this idea – for both are required to fly.
No offence taken :
No need my friend, for we are merely having an open exchange of ideas.
As I see it, what is promoted nowadays is not science – but merely the latest orthodoxy. Anyone that approaches this orthodoxy with reason, is quick to be labelled a heretic. That, in my mind – raises a few flags of concern.
For science, is not a faith-based business… but is a living animal, that only thrives with open debate. To censor and demonize open debate, is to starve that animal.
For truth is an enemy, only to tyrants… and only by open debate, does truth rise to the surface.
Therefore, the true agenda of anyone suppressing debate – is in fact, to suppress the truth.
For Truth, has but one enemy – from the Garden of Eden onward. And that enemy – is The Lie.
The Truth – does not fear The Lie.
But The Lie – fears The Truth.
And if we let The Lie stand – it becomes our ruler.
Or as put to words, by a very wise man…

Thank you for being a vessel: Thank you for being a vessel of hope. I'm positive the celestial voice will come through as clear as ever when you transition to your true home.
Don't stop talking.
us v them:
Women too or is it men only in your "us". Fight as metaphor works, don't give up and in civil society hold your ground! Violence breed ve detra - I am re-reading Dune for 5th or 6th time and there is a quote: "You always pay for the violence of your ancestors." We need a peace song.

As, to borrow Saint Paul's: As, to borrow Saint Paul's words, one of the chiefs of sinners, I am very grateful that God's Grace moves much faster than the speed of light, and does not---like ordinary starlight---take thousands of years to cross outer space.
Thank you for the reply. The: Thank you for the reply. The poem is very impressive, and continues to be marked on my bookmark page as a favorite. Thanks again for posting it.
I ask you to please forgive: I ask you to please forgive some of the edgy tone of my previous reply to your comment. I was in shock at the news of my friend's situation and now, having received news that he passed away without being taken off the life support, I realize that in attempting to sincerely reply in the sense of having a discussion, I may have turned it into an acrimonius debate. One of the great flaws of my personality, and of my life, is that I often talk/write/reply too much without always considering the words. I have the utmost respect for you as a Poet and I should have amended and edited that previous reply before posting it.
