Miasmic atmospheres cover this world
Despair, the food for the thoughts of the one
No relent in diet as one new fad upgrades from another
And yet there is a famine in the soul
And while those in shadow grow fat through fear
We, the masses are starved of an education of what it truly means to be human
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one?
Not so. The one is the many and the many, the one
We only have to step outside ourselves to understand this.
Where am I going with this poem?
Some thought new and yet very old

Good write SC.
Thanks Orchi. Hope you're keeping well?
Thanks SC. Nope, I'm having funny turns, but recovering gradually!

(forgive me, dear poet
your words inspired me, into
yet another lengthy, rant
'have no idea how y'all put up with me'
thank you! loved
your humanist championing, message)
w. h. Auden's
'age of anxiety'
birthing, regressive ideologies
where our New
is what was once, considered: Knew..
capitalism's, individual accountability
is a great, theory
yet, when even Twins
aren't born, 'equal' in capability
its, just as flawed
as communism's, 'the whole
being more important
than the individual, trickery...'
'Humility
and accepting
that absolutism doesn't, exist
at our current level of evolution
is how, we can free ourselves
of mind warping, ideologies..'
(I think, much better
if we, maintain a healthy
and robust
saving's account, and still
make time
to enjoy, that simple
beauty
in watching a butterfly, grace
our scope of life
while freely empowering, our empathy
at every opportunity..)
The problem with capitalism is that it leads to none community thinking. It's pull up the ladder jack and screw everyone else. Communism is just as flawed. Tribal communities are made up of rich and poor but understand the importance that each individual.pkays in the tribe. You are as strong as your weakest member. It's the same here. All the while people fail to acknowledge the importance of each other and all the while we listen to narratives designed to separate and segregate we won't learn or grow in a healthy way.
they try to paint us
such a bleak future, don't they
yet we'll still party like it's 1999
every new year's eve, defiantly!
(great insightful points, dear poet)

Stepping outside the box and thinking of how we can help others without following the callous codes of the many is the way to try and deal with the situation. All we can try and do is be ourselves and go our own way.

But isn't going our own way avoiding the issue? Surely, if we take interest in humanity as a whole and treat each other as family then positive changes can take place?
So true SC but when is this going to be reality.
Andy
