We love, we suffer
We touch goodness and evil
Humanity lives

Centralization
Is very vulnerable
Target the center
© 2023 M.N. Hopkins
Note: This is a lesson history has taught us and we are soon to have another lesson in the vulnerability of centralizing too much power at the center of a Union. Soviet Union was a classic example of this as was Rome, the United States and the Evil Union by the taking away the sovereignty and more and more power away from the member States and incorporating it all in a central location. The only way for alliances to stand is if all member States way of life and beliefs remain respected and their sovereignty as nations remain intact.

The disconnected
From life, from love, from each other
Reconnect to your Self
© 2023 M.N. Hopkins
Note: In my view, self is ego and Self is Soul. To connect to ones Soul, gives one a direct connection of God. I woke up in the wee hours of the morning with the first two verses in my thoughts. The third verse took some thought. I wrote and published this poem for the first time today, the 25th of January, 2023.

Those who seek power
Lack in loyalty toward kin
Lost in their own greed
© 2023 M.N. Hopkins
Note: I wrote this poem yesterday in the haiku style of poetry and published it for the first time today, the 21st of January, 2023. We see this attitude reflected today in the insanity of our world leaders and how this greed for power leads to making bad choices or decisions that will soon bring down their nations and be suffered most by those populations who pay for their foolishness.
Does it matter where you place your faith? In another person, a deity, a prophet, a saint, an object, the Earth or the Divine. It is still your faith that originates from yourSelf. I am of the opinion that it is far better mentally, emotionally and physically to be centered within your own inner Faith which originates from your Soul or Self connection.
© 2023 M.N. Hopkins
Note: In my world self is ego and Self is Soul which has a direct connection to the Creator.
We have not yet to learn to be leaderless. We project our own inner strength, courage, intelligence outward by placing it upon another who usually has none of the fore mentioned qualities. Eventually, we will come to a time when we will learn this lesson and the rule of a few will be replaced by the rule of the many who will each be self sovereign with the ability to work together.

I wrote these five poems in the haiku style of poetry with the same theme yet by changing one verse giving it a slightly different meaning in each of the five poems. If you would be so kind as to record the number of the poem in the comment section that most resonated with you personally. I published these five poems for the first time today, the 16th of January, 2023.

Time to end their rule

Rumi was a 13th Century Sufi mystic and poet, from Persia (Rumi was born in modern day Afghanistan and lived for a while in Turkey). Rumi’s poetry expresses his longing for union with the Divine. It is a personal mystic journey he invites us all to join.
The evil cult has yet to control the world fully and for this we can be grateful.

Without hopes and dreams
We descend into darkness
Then evil smiles
© 2022 M.N. Hopkins
Note: I wrote this a few days ago in the haiku style of poetry after thinking about how broken many have become the last two years and some look like they have aged ten years in the last few years. The evil minions must be smiling? I published it on my blog for the first time today, the 9th of January, 2022.
Die dag dat ons ons menswees verloor, is die dag dat die mensdom sterf, maar as selfs een hul innerlike lig lewendig kan hou, dan leef die mensdom steeds in die een en sal voortgaan.
İnsanlığımızı kaybettiğimiz gün, İnsanlığın öldüğü gündür, ancak bir kişi bile içindeki Işığı canlı tutabilirse, o zaman İnsanlık hala birin içinde yaşar ve devam eder.

जिस दिन हम अपनी मानवता खो देते हैं, उस दिन मानव जाति मर जाती है, फिर भी यदि कोई अपने भीतर के प्रकाश को जीवित रख सकता है, तो मानव जाति अभी भी एक में रहती है और चलती रहेगी।
जुन दिन हामीले हाम्रो मानवता गुमाउछौं त्यो दिन हो जुन दिन मानवजातिको मृत्यु हुन्छ तर यदि कसैले आफ्नो भित्री प्रकाशलाई जीवित राख्न सक्छ भने मानवजाति अझै एकमा बाँच्नेछ र जारी रहनेछ।
היום שבו אנחנו מאבדים את האנושות שלנו הוא היום שבו האנושות מתה, אבל אם אפילו אחד יכול לשמור על האור הפנימי שלהם בחיים אז האנושות עדיין חיה באחד ותמשיך הלאה.
اليوم الذي نفقد فيه إنسانيتنا هو اليوم الذي تموت فيه البشرية ، ولكن حتى لو كان بإمكان المرء أن يحافظ على نوره الداخلي على قيد الحياة ، فإن البشرية لا تزال تعيش في ذلك اليوم وستستمر.
私たちが人間性を失う日は、人類が滅びる日です。しかし、一人でも自分の内なる光を保つことができれば、人類はまだその中に生き続け、生き続けることができるのです。

Ngày mà chúng ta mất đi nhân tính là ngày mà Nhân loại chết, nhưng nếu một người có thể giữ cho Ánh sáng bên trong của họ tồn tại thì Nhân loại vẫn sống trong đó và sẽ tiếp tục.
วันที่เราสูญเสียความเป็นมนุษย์ไปคือวันที่มนุษย์ตาย แต่ถ้าแม้แต่ใครก็ตามที่สามารถรักษาแสงสว่างภายในของตนให้คงอยู่ได้ มนุษย์ก็ยังคงมีชีวิตอยู่ในสิ่งนั้นและจะดำเนินต่อไป
