Seeing And Not Seeing

Faith; the fetish for the unseen
and the non-corporeal
where we seem to be blind 
to what is in front of us.

The Formula For Aspirituality

Man + machine = man detached,
drifting from his origins, nature.

Inheriting The Means For Division

Where there is a will
there is often a wilfulness;
material gain fits very well
with inheritance
with it come the means
with which to divide others.

An Agnostic Writes...

In my first language, English,
I am secure, I understand and talk
with equal assuredness, I even swear.

In all other tongues, like those of angels
and prayer, my words will falter,
but my thanks are sincere.

Addressing so certain and unknown
a cause as the intelligent nature
of the world surely requires humility.

The Lords of The Universe Contemplate The World Recession

My Shadow Self,

like other people's shadow selves, will be competitive.
But in myself, for having less than many others,
and for sharing the less that I have, it will always seem lighter.

Nothing Ever Happens In The Present

The present passivity of hope deferred
and then obscured beyond recognition
is the religion of the 21st century.
Nothing ever happens in the present.
