Harakiri

Mutley Ravishes

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

    • Mutley Ravishes

      Following one's lord in death was taking things to an extreme! (Just like with our treasured beliefs?!)

      • sorenbarrett

        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. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

              Thanks, Tristan. The internal coup is so simple, yet so difficult!
