people like to believe they are
driven by the best intentions,
nobody will admit they intended
to cause division and suffering
and human misery,
despite the results being so.
all our positive group actions,
our identities, our meanings,
our sense of self supremacy
clothed in respectability and
goodness.
everywhere the cause of the
sickness is being offered as the
antidote.
if only we could all stop playing
the game of good and evil, for and
against,
but evil is everywhere calling itself
good and the good do nothing,
which people think is quite
bad.
sometimes just doing nothing
would be a virtue,
hitler felt like he had to do
something and look at the results
of that.
not forwards or backwards into
abstraction but in the present as
innocent as the animals.
ego wars everywhere all drunk on
self righteousness thinking they are
correct,
dividing and killing each
other to prove which one of them is
the most moral.
i saw an echo of love standing
looking at shadows on the cave wall
knowing there must be a light behind
it somewhere.
i heard a taste. i touched a sound.
i saw a truth organised.
the shadows thought and fought
each other.
i felt an echo of love die.
