No more swimming with words on the surface
time to dive deeper into meaning
push aside distracting veils
find the golden fleece of essence
that of being human
why the extremes
of love, violence, greed, giving
to motivate existence
why do peacemakers always lose
in the end
passions trump intellect
progress reverts to self-serving
understanding goes astray
rich to richer to exploitation
without reallocation
chained to evolution’s program
vulnerable to nature’s control
hopeful particles on galactic debris
hurtling through infinitude
toward the Unknowable
yet gifted with few conscious moments
in this lottery of life
to discern fantastic landscapes
feel loved if lucky
without doing harm to others.
