(yet again, your words
have helped to inspire me
to ink words, that surpass
my feeble levels..
thank you! dear Poet)
\'the only problem with theology
was in its insistence
that for one to be true, the other
must be false, hence
all that war and hate..
modernity, now free
of theology\'s chains
Chooses, to assign those same
divisively tragic, mindsets
to politics
to polarising identity extremism
to warped activism
and on...
makes you think
if cyclical
be humanity\'s patterns of self-devastation
and so blatantly obvious to even
fools like me
why do, those that curate
the status quo
choose, to maintain such
destructive elements
at the core foundations
of our societal make-up
surely
it can\'t be, as basic and archaic
as that whole
\'divide and conquer
segregate to subjugate\'
methods of tyrannical, rule
right...
right?
yeah, Right!

When we lose the ability to share, to work together, we lose the fundamental framework of what makes us successful as a species. I love the way you have expressed this in your poem, so thought provoking.

I love this comparison of opposites. It\'s how we learn from our first moments of life to the last breath we take, rudimentary to the complex. Without it , how do we really learn? Your treatment of the subject is superb! It\'s a fav!

\'A Vegan lawyer
that feeds
on broken souls, by the hour
Nature lover\'s
People haters,
Life\'s champions
Universe\'s disparagers..
Duality, is supreme
in our tendencies
While we strive
for monogamy
in our ideologies and perspectives
our
loyalties, sold to the highest bidder
meanwhile empathy, is devalued
till, suffering\'s inflation
has us kneeling, in search
of that same, little mercy
we were too busy, to offer
willingly...\'
Commonalities of Duality
in our Tale of collectivist
individuality\'s, Regal conformity..
(as always, just a privilege
to read your elegant poetry
forgive me for attempting
another feeble poetic reply
I just find your words, too
inspiring
to simply read and move-on..
thanks for choosing to share)
sorry

Haunting read, Kurt.
Reads aloud beautifully. We may have missed the turning point. Comming about may be in order.

L. B. Mek said:
\'Poverty lessens
the weight of ambition\'..
(symbolism, as modernity\'s isms
clicks as prayers
ticks and hashtags for belonging\'s
cues
salvaging our mercy from scripted
fallacy\'s, in reality documentaries..
mTV\'s cribs as our dreams
a dollar for noodles and a can, yet
San Fran
averaging two overdoses a day
while
new millionaires are minted
every seven minutes, and
our Youth
leaving their dreams and living as inSta Idol\'s
hallucinating of the ease, in 49ers
goldrush trappings
clueless, rest
of us
try and resuscitate, volition
within
miscounted votes, assertion
waving flags, that
could never tippex, away
their crimson, stains
in-to
a forgotten, past
free
of regret\'s, consequences
penny
for your thoughts
at gun-point, we ask
while
raping you, of your worth
with our eyes;
Parrot\'s in-hand
these last words
of trending, lament
we surrender
as your future, cyclicality
in inheritance as remnant\'s
synchronicity, for choosing
to believe in humanity\'s
credentials
to govern a planet, it\'s already
looted
of mineral and materialistic
worth...
and on
as one
we
swim
regressing
to our tadpoles
of demise
hoping, we too
will be SuperHero, resurrected
like Lazarus, only
we ask
could we get, a few more
days
rest,
first
thanks in advance, and
all the best)
