There is strength in vulnerability
To feel more, is to be rich
It’s an abundance of the inner world
Who cares for possessions?
I wasn’t born to be a profiteer
I’d rather be like the water
Touching here, touching there
Pliant to the relationship of relationships
Aware of how the unity shapes
The whole, of how the particulars
Transfer their energy, it’s morbid
To think of ourselves as isolated selves
It’s dehumanizing to go to war every day
In the marketplace, to the office
There’s a function in serving a group
To feel more, connected and belong
To an entity that is clasped on many sides
By the shared vulnerability of each one.
Now, if we could just get everyone else thinking this way, we would be doing a lot better as a society. Great poem!
Thanks Ninja, I’m afraid capitalism has it’s own odd momentum before that happens
