Prompt #12: January 3, 2010

My response to the twelfth prompt in the Frontliners 12 Day of blogging contest, which is to BLOGGER'S TOPIC CHOICE DATE

Of Mountains and Molehills
The way of nature and humanity

Nature has a way
of making mountains into molehills;
of removing the mountain crest
stone by stone
layer by layer
until nothing is left
but a sandy beach on the rim
of a peaceful ocean.

Humanity has a way
of making molehills into mountains;
of building barriers of differences
between groups,
between individuals
of segregating the human species
into the valleys of them and us.
