Society is the violence of the Individual
and for the Individual to prosper in Society
the Individual must inflict violence on the Self.
The Individual can not be the violence of Society
because violence does not nullify violence—
to “fight fire with fire” is to stoke the flames of defeat.
For the Individual to thrive as Self
the Individual must reject all violence
offered by Society.

A shepherd tried to ruin for me
The eloquent myth of Arcady;
That breathing couplet of antiqued joy.
A feeling I had since I was a boy—
An idea that Greece was a song
That I, cataclysmically wrong,
Sensed the tune that I was fed
Of pastoral beauty somewhere read
Was but a dream of wrathful Rood
Whose salvation, misleading and good,
Stood alone in its mournful place
For my imagination to trace
The warring words of a blitheful ditty,
Of a red-head perched, so true and pretty.
And I gave that shepherd a frightful stare
As a boy grown old with Aesop’s mare.
The solstice revolved around a setting sun
And my stammering desire rolled undone
In the tearfully drenched aftermath,
And desire swayed from my immanent path.

When money is god
people will dismiss notions of god
and repeat the verifiable
mantra of money
and fashion will replace beauty
since beauty does not discriminate
based on class
and fashion is a cycle
which spirals away from
beauty’s lazy truth
and opinion will be
the knowledge used to hurry
wisdom.
