Blame

Don't blame the system.
Your mind is the system.
Don't blame the world.
The world is your body.
Do your ancestors blame you for their pain?
Why blame them for yours?
Maybe you blame my ancestors instead.
Guess what?
My ancestors nest
with pterodactyls and hummingbirds
in your most noble chromosome
just as your ancestors swim
through the waves of my blood
with the Orca and the Man o'War.
Sunrise is golden, sunset purple and red.
But what color is the sun itself?
There is a light that never
touches the earth,
yet bathes every creature with joy.
