Hidden Depths

Hurting others is as easy
as throwing a stone
in the nearest sea.
When people do it,
they never know
how deep it will go.

The War Against Entropy

never ends because we don't know how to stop.
Each new day creates new battle fronts.
The more we try to defend,
the less of what we do is defendable with honour.
The final proof that we don't know ourselves
comes from us not knowing how little
of ourselves is actually worth saving.

The Life of Jesus,

and how well it has been applied as an example to live by
through history, has proved that the messenger need not be shot,
crucified, or caged in Guantanamo-now a military camp
for forty years-for the message to be lost by the carrier.
As a parasite, virtue was never as easy to catch
as it's carrier-language, which transmits itself all too easily.
But this much can still be grasped,
where a life goes unforgiven and disrespected
it will be a difficult life to lead, and harder life to follow.
There is much more of life in the world
that is disrespected than ever we want to know.
