so world you want to do the eclipse together so tell me what you've done well together lately before the world-weariness and exhaustion didn't creep in and over-run us all don't you see the psychic damage that's yet to be un-done I'm not interested in your love fest making a celebrity of the sun like we can all come together sometimes the more time marches the more tired I become is it the marching is it the effort it takes isolation in a magnified computer age the immensity of a world and the inverse in-importance of individual existence turning everything even God's miracles into events I'm staying out of the publicity tent yours for the making and consumption now that's some kind of wizardry how about living together and learning to move beyond all prejudices from the past all our limiting and small-making greed-head circumstances think of all the head space that you've devoted to others, attitudes, negative memories, bad habits wouldn't it be better to over-come the present demoralizing Babylon attitudes from the past are poison blocking out the present progress and possibility hope cannot simply be manufactured in one event surrounding the sun haven't you felt over-whelmed at times I have myself, feeling un-done struggling to feel the fading warmth in a fully eclipsing sun which comes around in one lifetime not all charmed blossoms make good in life there are those who'd deny all evidence of any problems as they take their neatly polished smiles out of the jar each morning the ignorant and dulled never-the-less didn't we all hope for a better world yet only a few of us refuse to share the best how I know these few do their worst for me not to get to wrap my fingers around it a lot of truth was told when old wise man remarked its the optimist who gets exhausted look at all the effort it takes to be operating in the light while every one else fumbles in the dark hope y'all enjoyed the eclipse and the togetherness while it lasted while it passed us by bye-bye written directly to the page legal copyright for this work/rant and also for this writer/author Melissa A.
