Human evolution
human anthropology
humanity’s dimensions
discriminatory attitudes
Ethnic conflicts
inhuman behavior
racial segregation
racism xenophobia and ethnocentrism
ugly outbreaks of racism
thuggish brutality
globalization and self-centered thinking
Genocide and human history
Biblical genocide
when God determined to “make an end of all flesh”
the origins of racism often suffer from a lack of clarity over the term?
Inner significance
mind poised on the edge of the thoughts
widespread agitation for soul reform
seemed perturbed
soul’s a victim of racial prejudice
crisis paled into insignificance
Zero space
a breath of suspicion
breathing down our neck
stuck where’s no window nor doors
we wedged between the zero space ain’t we?
locked horns with the certain narrowness of mind
it’s only the cause of personal interests?
squashed up against the wall
situation tried to put the squeeze on us
we’re prepared to put our head on the block for?
we refused to settle for a promise of jam tomorrow.—
time just glared at us silently
and the answer is staring us in the face
I often wonder what future generations will make of our efforts
the future of nation in question
time knows all the answers?
future is clear?
what lies beyond?
there is no air to breathe
Can we open a window? It’s suffocating in here!
The new thoughts for tomorrow..
for irrational racism
control should put into action
a positive attitude
the power of positive thoughts
time will pass without prejudice?
we need a composed frame of mind
poised and self-composed
there could be a condition where the odds are stacked against us?
where there the window frames had begun to warp..
where mind becomes equanimous
even-tempered
strong in the face of trouble
showing equanimity
cause It’s difficult to remain equanimous in the face of such impertinence
need to make an effort to justify racism
God determined to, ” make an end of all flesh”
The strength of the belief is that it puts flesh on the bare bones of this argument.—
make your flesh creep
walk away in disgust
make out yourself through the mist
make an end of all flesh
through and through…

    The truth cuts through the soul of all, individually apathetic to make a stand, collectively responsible, fearful. Excellent Ushna, you’re passion for humanity is always spot on. :) SZ

    Stream of consciousness, but so much beneath the surface of the stream. A logical stream of consciousness? It’s very possible, as our logical mind influences our conscious. Anthropometry is an intriguing piece with fascinating title. If there’s an end to all flesh, what is there left to measure? Very good, Ushna.

  • Ushna Sardar replied

    Well said! yeah there’s an end to all flesh F.A, Anthropometry is the measurement of physical attributes of human beings, such as head width, length of little finger, length of torso, etc but Anthropometry is also used in efforts to justify racism!appreciateyour precious comments hunnie! xo

    Amen to all you have said. I think the root of bigotry comes when are too concerned about focusing on what makes us different than what makes us the sae. Human beings are all far more similar than they are different. And when you figure that out, you start seeing that there is only one true trace – the human race.

  • Ushna Sardar replied

    well said Jono! thank you so much dear friend! appreciae your precious comments!

    Rare specimes…
    so we seem to bee.
    There is not a problem….
    when oneself becomes the problem
    So the race… the genes… the manhood…
    what does it mean to the Universe…?
    Fear , throbbing fear for the ones to come…
    it has always been like these…
    except where the souls live in pure contact with themselves..
    where is that?
    I heard that gatherings of people of more thatn 50 subjects… becomes a conflictive..
    rioting… self uncontrolling…
    if overpopulation more than this 50 ones is just a dream of the past times..
    not we face that if we cannot control the mass… in the real term…inside the mob…
    then… we just will need to evolve individually…
    it was in times of the prophets…. Jesus included…and it is the more now.
    So… your crying out is to be thankful…and then… dusting off the fear out of our shoulders…and hearts… we have… need to be… individuals… that’s is the goal.. the challenge..that is so.
    Loved your way or writing Ushna….
    Living all the time disgusted does not add any strength neither spirit to our beings..
    Beauty is saving us from the alacricity of self`pity and despair.
    A hug for you
    Rosa

    I once heard that everyone only knows 150 people by name of face. Outside of this they are potentially dangerous, under suspicion, not to be trusted. A human condition. Contrast this with the knowledge that we are all of one race, all of a commmon ancester. Is it ignorance or just too big thing to deal with? We have to think big to grow don’t we?
