Surviving Progress
of competing ecologies
around needs
and ways of thinking
brings me to life
to seek solace in deeper waters
competing ecologies
dictate environments
as real as daytime highs
or winter lows and sunshine
creating both needs
and scarcity
where moments of clarity
are realized for freedom
Rounded needs
have become pragmatic
and sharp drives advertised
problematic
as they compete with peace of mind
in our rights to live simply
lassoed by complexity into ignorance
like a game, but who has time to make change
unless one's paid to
like the bazillion lobbyists.
Ways of thinking
segregate materials from spirit
But the spiritual realms
turns virtue into soil
for us to grow.
And behold, a poem
that would water your soul
while rubblers would grub
in sin to synthesize gold
for material wealth,
but weal of hearts prevails too,
supporting people.
Bringing to life
are these spiritual paths
as simple and direct as sunshine
while devils lurk in details
of complex societies erected
for materialism dragging us
towards extinction.
Solace of deeper waters
is slowly lonely
as my mind still recalls
faster flows from youth
teeming in life's synergy
Most life resides in shallow waters
where moments of clarity
like the bazillion lobbyists
would water your soul
to turn virtue into soil
on spiritual paths
teeming with life's synergy.
