Main Characters

a human syndrome me thinks

there is a story

in my simple mind

with a name familiar

it does play out

always and again

in the next way similar

there is another story

with a name very familiar

from a similarly simple mind

it plays

and plays

in a way familiar

again

and again

there is a story

quite similar

with a name familiar 

always

and again 

another human story

the same it reads

but, slightly different it seems

I love this and it's interesting because I have been pondering something similar (but it may not be similar at all) there are not many human narratives are there? We all experience pretty much the same thing. There is no escaping pain and suffering in our lives - that's commonplace - it's more how we deal with it. But that side of things is not what I am talking about here.

The true essence of things - we are the same. We have shared experiences - and how silly we are that we choose to seperate ourselves from each other, in fact from nature itself.

We so easily forget we are actually nature ... but we create our own disconnect ... and in that disconnect our good friend suffering arises ...

You poem also reminded me of how many different realities there are out there and that everything is happening all at once - but I am not going to say more about that as you could probably articulate it a hellava lot better than me :D
