a phantom

empires of
scientific capability

the main irony
of our existence
is the inability
to overcome
fundamental obstacles
whilst, nevertheless
possessing the ability
to take ourselves beyond them
it seems we have understood
that cooperation
is better than conflict,
but even up until
the present day
we have failed to grasp
the full significance
of such a principle.

the human race,
in all forms of society,
has struggled to
create cooperation
but has failed
in every major instance.

the reason being that
in order to establish
cooperation,
we have thought it necessary
to do so via
the means of force.
the main perpetrator
of this belief
is the fact
that most of us
are, in some way
frightened of one another
maybe even frightened of ourselves

the human race
in all forms of society
has struggled to
create cooperation
but has failed
in every major instance

frightened of ourselves?

reason
as a guide of life
makes palatable
and simplifies
a momentary
vanishing world
in constant change

censor the senses
to inhabit
a world of
shadows

solidify
the remainder
into
discrete
mental
objects
in
programmed
habitual ways

veil:
something
that acts
like
a curtain
in hiding
disguising
obscuring
something else
or seperating
one thing
from another

and simplifies

vanishing world

consciousness
is a
by-product

you are my punishment
it’s the only way
i can feel that
you’re needed

you are validating
my inherent mistrust
of humans
or what they
