The Funeral Procession I saw a thing the other day that made me stop to contemplate ceasing all other goings-on in mind, pulling off roadside to wait for the many pairs of eyes that mourn the passed to pass this ordinary thing, a common sight, somewhat different staring through the glass . I thought of why we do this, questions never entered prior about that thing I was seeing all came still momentarily, to show respect, a mutual mourning of a human being a mere mortal, one of our own one like me and you family and friends and person we never even knew, remaining unenlightened despite passing through our view we do not bother to ask who we give our silence to. All we see is the gray we do not separate the black and white, red-yellow, Christian-Jew, man-woman, wrong or right, uneducated-Harvard grad, unexperienced-old and wise, no matter good or criminal we are neutral to the passing eyes. In life atop the soil the countless wars of hate differ vastly from this thing I stopped to contemplate. and what has brought me to such a state? ...to think how every one of us would be living an eternal, infernal tragedy if heaven were to ever choose to discriminate. |

A wonderful write my friend and one worth yet another think, your mind is indeed working overtime at the moment Dixie, seeing many things once ignored. Loved the four lines here, thanks for sharing.
