It’s getting worse:
eruption
cataclysmic malfunction
accelerated change
imminent collapse of this modern
civilization
planetary dis-ease
death of the ocean
species becoming extinct on the daily
crashing
&
burning
all around us,
capitalism is
going
going
gone.
But still, it
writhes about our necks
cynicism grows
malignant
(yet goodness is where the ego is not)
anxiety
suicidality
depression
an opioid crisis
to avoid the unbearable
pain
&-suffering.
Such is ego—cultural artifact
of power
less
than the chain of transformation
necessary for us
to master
our own drives—
we cannot seem to change what we want to want.
There's no glue
holding us
2gether
as we rip each other apart
in a frenzy
combative
competitive
never contemplative
of the broken self
of the need to
dig
deep
burrow
down
tunnel
out
into paradigm shift:
a unified consciousness
out there
in the field beyond
you vs. me
us vs. them
this vs. that
here vs. there
right vs. wrong
transcending so many (dis)likes
towards true
Love.
