multiplex analysis

So much evil we see
seems to be based on
Man’s fear of Woman
which leads to their desperate need
to maintain Patriarchy, to keep
her in “her place” of powerlessness.
 
 
 
You are (we are) allowed to be
complicated --
to live in complex thoughts,
feelings, ideas, values, beliefs.
You are a multi-faceted living being
-- not a soundbite.
 
 
 
Not “God’s Creation”, we are gods’ emanation.
 
 
 
None of us need be held down
by the status quo.
But what is the status quo
in all this turbulent change?
 
 
 
Working class Whitemen
self-deporting from their disappointing lives
increase the rate of demographic change
they decry.
 
 
 
Love as spirit awareness
 
 
 
We form our lives
based on our ambient culture
from which we learn
what is possible
what is permitted.
 
 
 
Some believe by definition
murderers must be mentally ill,
because it is insane to consciously kill.
Some believe we are a violent race, intent
to annihilate our enemies --
and “enemy” is fungible.
 
 
 
Not about helping us,
but hurting not-us.
 
 
 
This is not static natural background,
but human decisions --
and we can decide differently.
The problem is
getting enough of us to agree.
So we default to conditions
most of us have long settled on.
