It Is Never Us It Is Always Them Others

Absolute misrule invented itself
when, unawares, men found themselves
divided and the centre of a battlefield.
One side was orderly rationality,
which came from the intellect.
The other the combined bodily passions
which proved more than the sum of their parts.
Through sex these passion drove men to war,
first against women and nature,
from whih they thought they were apart,
and then against each other.

The net result the peretual lust
for outright ownership.

At this point the battlefield said of itself
'Let us make women nature and the gods
responcible for our never ending conflict;
let them define our minds and our bodies
and let them be blamed for the battle raging....'.
   

Denial Du Jour

Better Than Sleeping Pills

'It is always consoling to think of suicide:
in that way one gets through many a bad night.'.
-Frederick Nietzsche

Life At Different Speeds

For the old time slows time down,
the future goes on 'hold';
you can sense it in their stillness.
That sense of  slowness
should be a natural part of every community,
rather than them being hived off into 'care homes'
where their health is slowly frozen for further profit.

Care homes are luxury workhouses;
the occupants do not escape alive-
their 'care' squeezes life
too thin to be measured.  

Excuses

hide our weaknesses
the way reasons defend lies.

We Always Take From Others

what is more naturally theirs (particularly other species) than is natural to us.

Message To Self (2)

Take care with the arguments you make-
they might be all you are remembered for;
they are the content of the everyday rituals
you never realised you were creating.
