If you
Were
Inextricably
Part of
The whole..
As
Each of
Your
Composite cells
Makes up
Your body...
Could you then...
Continue
To live
So decidedly
Detached..
Still convinced
Your
Indiscriminate
Individuality
Operates
In a
Vacuum...
Rendering
The
Assaults
Of your
Choices
Benign...
Rather
Than acknowledge
Their
Reverberations
Across
And
Throughout
The web of
Life?
What
Convinces you
That Life
Was bestowed
Upon you
For the
Ongoing
Generation
Of
Unimaginable
Indifference?
What
Led you
To believe
That
Your
Life
Matters more
Than
Any other
Life?
That
Your suffering
Is beyond
That of
Any other
Living being?
That you
Should be
Exempt
From
Carrying
Your share
Of
The collective
Suffering?
Not then....
To run
From
Or
Hide
Your head
Up
Your ass..
To
Ignore
To
Numb...
Nor
Retaliate
Condemn
Oppress
Or
Invalidate
There's
No
Plot
Scheme
or
Conspiracy
Dictating
You're
Separate...
Take
A moment
Each day
For
Yourself
To
Extricate..
While
You pause
Embrace
In yourself
All that
Screams
Desolate...
Maybe
It's not fear
Of what
You think
That
Has you hesitate...
It's the ladder
You climb
The wall
You placate..
What
If
Your
Participation
In
The
flow of life
Has been
To
Castrate
While
You
Bent over
Backwards
Creating
An image
Designed to
Ingratiate..
Marching
Orders
And
Invisible drums..
Your steps
To
Placate
Death
&
Destruction
Courted
Through
Media..
Your
Blind date
