Finding the Unmarked Soul

We believe in each other and community on equal terms. Leaders see this as foolishness to be stomped out for better gains. Rights taken, laws changed, choices given: take what they give you and live above or be confined in the prisons. The pecking order allows this blessing for chosen ones as long as you perpetuate the prisons of the mind. Appreciating what is given is mandatory. Needing more is a crime. I guess that makes Jasmine, and those like her, a criminal. We live in hiding helping those we can along the way. Dare we live life in love? Do we hope for family? Do we hope for battle and freedom?
