advances

spiritual?psychological advances like 

the ability to treat “other”

as a human being

with all our hard fought rights

has not moved since the sixties.

 

As Harold Zinn points out

the seventies was a return to control.

We have been bounced along since then,

now almost completely infantilized.

 

Atomized, captured and entertained  

we aspire to empty recognition

based on quantity and not depth.

in capitalism less is not more…

How many followers do you have?

Of course in a spiritual life

the teachers teach the opposite.

2.

We cannot claim to be a civilized country

if we continue to support the border cleaning

imperialized agenda in the middle east.

3.

Palestinians resists out of necessity

while we in the west pay for this oppression

surely you have heard of the wall.

 

A.

We cannot kill our family as easily as we can kill others.

We cannot kill a citizen as easily as we can kill a foreigner.

We cannot kill a believer as easily as we can kill a non believer.

We cannot kill a dog as easily as we can punch a wall.

 

*

If humanity is a family

we’re killing

our brothers and sisters
