500 years

of the enlightenment project has created a Western World
with a bewildering variety of creeds, governments, and constitutions.
Many new religions and dependencies too, as identities splinter.
Most of all we revere new technologies for the good they do,
the short term ease they bring us, though the we fail to see
the line between reverence and blind worship until we cross it.

Nowhere are these changes more apparent
than in the way that we have reduced the awareness
required for mutual forgiveness, and the power of same,
to level of cognition of the contents the toilet bowl
before we press the handle of a flush toilet.
