on opening air

  

money is not a commodity.  Money is an idea. 

That we make this mental construct a thing

to possess is sheer foolishness and a cause

of great unnecessary suffering.

 

 

 

the wealthy are benefited by

having a financial stake in the country,

by doing their part to be useful and of benefit

to the community, the society, more in flow

with societal goals and more able to relate

and be related to because humans need humans

and are only deceived if we believe we

need "wealth" that makes us less

 

 

 

 

I keep noticing really bad outcomes

that are commonplace due to an emphasis

on profit over every other value, over actual

utility, as if that is the obvious and

only appropriate course.

 

 

 

A glutton for experience

to breathe in and hold

as stories to sustain me,

that enthrall when I'm old.

 

 

 

Things that we carry with us.

Why do we add them to our

weight, our responsibility?

Our identity, imbued in symbols,

iconography, necessities

we carry with us

as we become

more than our bare bodies

proof of our faith in

reality beyond our

ecstatic bond.

 

 

 

 

Babies, meant to be beautiful

symbols of opening possibilities

But when everything's going

to shit

they become only more vectors

of misery.

 

 

 

 

The social inertia is being broken

by Earth changes.
