Even though we
Are the Lords of your
Center of gravity
It doesn't mean
We can't be
Deposed
And a new conception
Of self
Enthroned

Honor first. More important than life and disgrace to be repaid with self inflicted death so as not to suffer the shame. A most interesting view point and I believe that with time this view has been overthrown. Nicely written
Following one's lord in death was taking things to an extreme! (Just like with our treasured beliefs?!)
It depends on whether one's values are individual or group based.
I guess so. I heard that in old Japan the custom of following one's lord in death was only adhered to in a limited number of areas. Thanks for the comments.
Most welcome
Mutley, this reads like a quiet internal coup. Authority questioned, center shifted, something new seated without ceremony. It’s concise, philosophical, and confident in its minimalism. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks, Tristan. The internal coup is so simple, yet so difficult!
