The Purpose of Homo Sapiens
living human beings on this planet
I have an unruly desire to be better, to be uplifted, and to be rescued from the condition of my own thought created world. I believe that as a human I am made up of every little imperfection; that I am identified far beyond my physical appearance and moreover identified by much deeper and soulful characteristics. I am on a journey to seek not only refuge, but genuine peace and happiness in this so called reality of the world. I believe that I have a right to own my own god damn place in this world, that I am entitled to an identity and to a living. Many beings often question why we are here and what the central meaning of life is, but to me I believe that we are here because we have a purpose, and we are given a chance to create a central meaning of life to each their own. As Homo sapiens I am set to believe that life is given, not created. On this journey of life you are set to create yourself, identify yourself, and to give your life a central meaning of its own.

A Forsaken Humanity
To live on valued energy is to love one another and denounce the state of vanity. Virtual reality, confining our personalities. Chasing likes and comments over the heart and soul of humanity. Desiring one another’s downfall, like Tom and Jerry. A few of us as smart as bugs bunny. But all of us hiding a secret hunter like mentality. Living oblivious and losing sanity, what has become of humanity. There’s no loving without losing, they say. But how does one live so fruitful anyway. My brother, my sister we say, but enemies they are at the end of the day. An eye for an eye, transactions upon transactions we make. Never humble enough to give and not take. How do we overlook what is at stake, and give to one another even though we may break. To build a bridge is more valuable than what is at stake. How do we repair humanity and the goals it creates. Forsaken has become humanity, how do we save it’s sanity.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
