Old karma haunts me,

I have slaughtered many,

I have destroyed many,

Those lives, love,

All that loss,

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

What it means,

To be human,

I'm only now,

Beginning to learn,

We didn’t have the Earth,

Where I grew up,

There was evil everywhere,

I had to slaughter my way out of there,

I was only an animal,

When I came upon this place,

No understanding, of art or love,

Community or family,

I simply wanted to pass through,

But I don’t know why,

Something caught my eye,

Something so beautiful,

So very human, it possessed me,

I wanted to see it, its fruition,

Its completion, I wanted,

To see, the universe bloom.
