I know nothing of these grand
debates
that may bring sway upon my
fate
writ large on braying
wind
Not my decision; not my
place.
Far from majesty of Center
Stage,
my only power:
Hope to breathe again with
every wave.
Not tribalism --
dichotomy is our
enemy
forced to choose:
either/or
denying complexity of
reality.
Tie us up in duel
formality.
Watch freedom die,
collaterally.
And, of course,
humanity.
For what? Some “bottom
line”?
Remind us why you
decide
what choice must
die.
Rulers are meant to promote
values
move forward within the value
system
of the group forming the
rules.
Rumination deserves to serve
artistic projects
Government funded through
royalty payments on
profitable outcomes of
government funded research
I tried to hurt myself more
than I anticipated from others,
to inoculate against their
power.
The problem with We, the
People is that we are not
a people, but random
individuals and interest groups
fighting amongst
ourselves.
