a thought provoking write, yet again dear poet
(and thanks for inspiring my little scribbled reply)..
\'there is a reason why zebra\'s have evolutionarily masked themselves in unnatural stripes and choose to blend-in, than stand - out..
there is a reason why democracy was hated by ancient empires who strived for that \'ever greater\'..
there is a reason
we like to forget - existence
is but a sojourned state
and that our countdown, started
before we drew, our very first breath...\'

Packaging is certainly immaterial in this world but there is an awful lot of it.

great wordplay and theme on Asimov\'s laws (mule indeed)
thought provoking, astute and impassioned commentary!
while briefly studying computer science and they were lecturing
this supposedly \'statute laws\' to programming, I too
couldn\'t help wondering how negligently short-sighted
and self-servingly ignorant, it all sounded
I mean: what rule exists within humanity to adhere?
by what measure do you quantify integrity
when our very choices
curate existence\'s binary of fate or ill-fate...
how easy to forget
in the very same generation that nurtured
that lauded humanitarian Gandhi
\'our\' collective society helped curate:
that human nightmare of cruelty, Hitler...
and what has cost more lives
in the history of humankind
than that corrosive perversion of love
titled theology...
