Beyond

We pursue our own interests.
We are capitalist and happy.
We work from 9 to 5 and die
after 65, because we are no longer

needed. What are we but nearsighted?
Do you think you care about
people you can’t see or those
you don’t know? No. We do not shout

at those in power because we
believe we are in heaven,
but man is deeply evil and believes he is good.
If a man is elected to lead

he can still be evil and believe he is good.
He peruses his own interests. He is nearsighted;
delusional bad apple spoiling.
Don’t join the system.

Cheat the game and make millions only
to give it away. Make your life and
give it away. Truly love those you can’t see,
only then will you break free and see truth.

The only life worth leading
is the life driven to seeing
beyond this idyllic snow globe
and loving those we don’t know
