From single cell
To hairless apes
Humans left their jungle home
For the great unknown
Soon they ate what they could to survive
Then hunter-gathers began to settle
Building thriving empires on maize, rice, wheat, & rye
The next evolution of the human species
No more need to slaughter
No more need to abuse & exploit their fellow earthlings
In 2021, humanity is still stuck in the past
Stuck in greed, tradition, & fear
Some though are waking up to the suffering of the world & it’s beautiful creatures
Choosing compassion at every meal
If humanity takes the next step towards a vegan world
The world will heal
The animals will live
Pandemics will end
With Aloha,
Johnny
Check out the documentaries “forks over knives”, “cowspiracy”, & “dominion” for why switching to a vegan diet is crucial for saving ourself & earth. Check out nutritionfacts.org for how to eat a healthy plant based diet.

Brothers & Sisters
There once was a star in the milky way
Until one day this star grew old
This distant star died & transformed into a supernova
Sending its space dust in the vast darkness of the Universe
Until one day this dust accumulated and condensed under pressure
To form our home, Earth
The star never truly died
It was reborn
Reborn as you, me, and every species that has existed on this planet
We are brothers & sisters
Sharing this beautiful planet together
With Aloha,
Johnny
Karma.
For every action
There is an equal & opposite reaction
No right or wrong
No morality
No judgment
Just an observation of the law of nature
When we cause unneeded suffering to non-human animals
Humanity suffers
Suffer from viruses like covid-19, sars, and swine flu
Suffer from pood poisoning, air pollution, & toxic water pollution
When we justify violence
We can become violent, cold, and apathetic
Not seeing reality through the lens of compassion
Insanity
Repeating the same mistakes
Expecting different results
We can support peace
We can support our mother nature
Invest in solutions to wean ourselves off meat, dairy, and eggs.
Whether this be whole food plants, plant-based alternatives, or cellular meat
We must choose another path
If we want to thrive into the next century
As individuals we can support the future we would like to see
Do we want a peaceful world full of compassion with less suffering & illness?
Or do we want to support violence and unneeded suffering?
I don’t judge anyone for supporting animal agriculture for I did for 28 years
Humanity must decide which path it would like to take
Not through force but through awareness, education, & compassion
I’ll Stay in my Own Lane.
I won’t change you
I won’t judge you
I won’t argue with you
I’ll stay in my own lane
For life is too short for me to focus my energy on others
Telling them what they should or shouldn’t do
My work will be to accept all as they are
For I’m no god nor tyrant
No dictator or ruler
My path is mine to walk
No one can walk it for me
And I can not force you to change
Grow & change in your own time
Or not!
Who am I to judge?
I have plenty to work on
Much growth to be had
Any energy spent on you would be wasted
For my life is my message
If others follow
That’s great
If they don’t
That’s fine too!
I’ll stay in my own lane
You are Divine.
Divinity is found within all
Even if they don’t realize it
Buried under years of conditioning
Fear, anger & greed cover the jewel that is your true nature
To be kind
To help
To love
Wisdom is the process of unlearning
Unlearning old habits & beliefs that hold back us from touching true joy
Allowing us to see our true nature
The Battle Within
Divinity is found
Within you and I
But also ego
All humans have this battle within
Dark & light
Devil & angel
Ego & divine
Grow the divine fertile seeds with love & compassion
Acknowledge the ego
Bow to it
Feed it carefully
Feed it with understanding
Care for the darker side
For in caring for the dark we grow the light
Living Our Values.
Compassion begins with me
Peace begins with me
Love begins with me
How I talk
How I listen
How I eat
How I breathe
How I write
I must live my values in order to make the world a better place
I must practice faith that what I do matters in an infinite universe
All is One.
A cloud is my brother
A dying star is my father
A mighty tree is my mother
All life connected through a mysterious force
Whether you call it
God
Mother nature
Father time
All is one
Thank you
Sexual Responsibility.
Same song & dance
As I leave in the middle of the night
Regret
Sorrow
Same song & dance
Sex with another woman without commitment
Trying to fill the void
Fill the void in my heart
I must do better
May I.
May I show compassion
To even those who harm others
May I always seek peace
When others choose violence
May I be grateful
Even when life gets tough
May I seek forgiveness
Knowing its a gift to myself
May I choose love
When fear crosses my mind
May I choose freedom
Over security
May I always seek to understand others
Not judge
May I be in this present moment
Even when my mind drifts to the past or future
