Do Unto
We seem to be in a daze
In this Dance of Life.
Is this My life
Or is it Our life to grow as One?
What I do to You,
I do to All
And mainly to Myself.
My fear and anger,
My rage,
Reside in My body, not Yours.
I am killing Myself with disease
Because I despise You.
Because I abhor You,
I abhor Myself.
Because I loathe Myself,
I loathe You more!
I despise Your face and Your skin!
I deplore Your poverty!
Your children disgust me!
I resent the fact that You are not of My tribe!
Your needs are deplorable because
Mine are greater!
Your fear of loss is pathetic because
My fear of abandonment is much deeper,
Much deeper than Your sorrows.
You can’t have what is MINE!
You CAN’T have what is mine!
YOU can’t have what is MINE!
I despise YOU because
You feel entitled to what is
MINE!
And I’ll scream at YOU until MY pain is heard!
Until I’M seen and heard
Because I feel invisible and mute,
Helpless, disrespected, disowned.
It’s taught that
What I do to You,
I do to Myself,
The anger and fear bind My soul, not Yours,
And poison My blood, not Yours
My loathing is Self-loathing.
I Abhor My face, My skin, My poverty, My children!
My soul is deplorable!
So You must suffer
Because I am in such pain, and
My life is at stake!
My home,
My money,
My tribe!
It’s taught,
Unto you,
Unto me.
What I do to you, I do to myself.
How can We heal this cycle of fear?
How can We love?
If only I could love My own soul, then
I could love Yours more and
Heal this anger, this
Cancer, this
Malignancy, this
Contagion.
My anger and fear are toxins
Tearing apart My heart, not Your heart.
When can I finally see,
When can I finally feel,
Unto You,
Unto Me.
What I do to You,
I do to Myself.
Unto Me,
Unto You.
What I do to Myself,
I also do to You!
When can I know?
When!

Thanks! I want to record it. I hope it’s not too judgmental, but it’s true about how energy works. The hatred we spew becomes our biology.

I thank you! I tried several recording go. It was so hard to vent that anger and send out those vibes, but I think we benefit from hearing and feeling these vibrations. Check out my other post on this poem. I wrote some commentary, and I would love your feedback.
