how I’ve hated

the rulers of the world

using their life force

to lord it over those

who have no wish to rule


and even they have their

rouses and tricks to survive…

lording it over those still

weaker and meeker

and they also have their ploys…and on and on


down through the order

of conditions that are

but aspects of the Only Reality…


so why hate when every desire

is One…and each impulse

is the same on every level?


does not the drive remain

though fractured through

each broken jaw of self?

does not the carcass draw

the hunger of vulture and maggot alike?
