Day 9. April Poetry Challenge

We are One

Sourced from kimera-kimera.devintart.com

We are One not just in living but in death
Bound by the standard
of 6 feet beneath the earth
Assigned a role to melt back into the soil
From dust formed to dust returned after our toils
A decision you and I in our intelligence has no control

We bore a mark in common crested on us
Rising day and night, not of our wills, to stir a course
But exclaim in unison of it another day
You and I be as it seems by our design may not say
But in silence, we accept our similar yet different scars.

One we truly are, bound together also in evil
Assigned upons us by that in our hearts and on us by "the devil"
Him that bears a bald head on which we heap our blames
To whom is given the key to eternal gate of hot flames
Which may or may not be the end of existence

We'd marched then jamming our feet on the floor
Exclaiming "we are one"in great roar
But in what do we stand as one? Or say one?
And to why do we claim to be one? If not to stop vices
In the end all men are one in thoughts waiting for the catalyst.

And as one, without admitting we'd walked into everyday
One claiming superiority over another
The other holding onto a territory of power
But in all, we all lay claims but in different forms
Therefore we are one in all. Good and Bad.

  1. Yeah....

    We are truly one....

    Cos we all got the same price to pay..,,

    That ultimate price....

    Death makes us one...

    Death makes us equal...

    Mortality keeps us together...,

  2. Wow. I love your comment, it's a nice summary of the whole poem. I am glad to know you could relate. I guess you may be invited for a duel. @Henry

  3. WE ARE ONE

    You live for one ride with Me bearing that We are One, forever connected in realms of the unforseen, yet We either make Our choices to make or break Our commitment to Love.

    Somehow, We are moved by earth and heaven. But that which We are, We are all of equal temper and heroic hearts to remain in Unison with Gods promise but some, made by time, tide and fate.
    Some bent that glowy brow, turned the rhyme to sing and ride with joy to a dark soul of black hearts.

    But They who stood by, They who never looked back, covered in the embrace of true Love, in warm arms and hearts.
    They feel alive above the rise, under the sky and beneath a tree called LIFE which grows to no mans fathom but still all together through silent whispers recite "we are one"

    Some grew been of paltry minds while others of enormous intellect. We became enclosed in a funny way,each MAN been major cast, in an Eternal drama titled "We are One"

    Its all One,Our past and the future, bad and good, But going through, so much still I don't understand.
    Is it You?
    Do you really know Me?
    Is it betrayal, tears or Wisdom?
    Do you understand death?

    But yet ,We stand side by side,
    Filled with hope and pride,
    Believe it, We are One You and I,
    Like the earth and sky,
    One family under the sun,
    All the wisdom to lead,
    All the courage You need,
    You will find when You see.
    When we gather together as family.
    Alas, Yes We Are One.
