The Cup of Life.

We are animals,
we have thoughts of hunting.
But what stops us?
The morals that we have and the morals of caring for our brothers and sisters.  
We came from hunters,
we came from gatherers.
Now we sit down and watch reality past us by.

We have people,
who take the thoughts of hunters,
and instead of fighting,
they act.
They have no morals,
no empathy,
no heart.

I live in a state known for mass shooting,
at the high school to the theater,
3 people made their names in my state.
Why?
Because they are broken,
and exploded and took everyone with them.
This world is rotten,
this world needs the people who want to make the change.
Instead of shooting other people.

We are connect more than ever before,
we can talk from New York to London with no problem.
If we can use this connection to spread messages of education,
than we can be even more advance than ever.
We can finally be a family,
so we can explore the space of the unknown.

We came from Africa with no instruction,
We explore this world and found resources.  
The resources we need to trade with each other,
The Spanish and the Portuguese spread their ships to The New World,
The Dutch was the first to have a strong naval system,
before they were taken over by the English.

We interacted with recourse and trade,
The English gave Opium to the Chinese,
it spread like wildfire and killed them.
The English didn't care,
they had everything they need from them.
Greed can kill the people you trade with,
soon the American's will give the Natives the blanket full of smallpox,
Why? To gain the land we see today.

If we had a beer glass,
and we filled it with the classes you took from school.
That glass would be filled half way,
because we need life to fill it up all the way.
The Cup of Life.

The Cup of Life is our story,
if we drank it,
The taste would be bitter and sour.
However, soon the taste will be sweet and delicious.
The bitter and sour is our evil side that we must face head on or else we will be doomed to repeat it,
the sweet and delicious is our beauty from nature and out historical victories that positively change the world like the Fall of the Berlin Wall, Or when Germany quit World War 2 and we freed the Jewish men and women from Auschwitz.

Some thing will never change,
we need those moments to fill up that cup.  
We need the bad to continue the good.  
We need to learn and move forward,
so we can learn and have a better future.

The Cup of Life is both odious and exquisite.

We must drink the from the Cup of Life,
as a family.
Because we have each other.
That cup is a gift from nature,  
a gift from when we were bacteria.

So grab your drink of choice,
and think for the
Cup of Life.

Hmm... I wonder if maybe the media stopped showing all these school shootings on the news it might decrease the amount of kids inspired by them?
..although it's not really such a good thing to do that-- I wonder if it might help?
