Incredulity

Incredulity I draw in oxygen The sweet and foul odours The same as you I breathe And in its life giving rapport I exist Of blood exchanges in corpuscle energies Transmitted Maintains Thoughts awareness and grasp On immediacy Existential In its poetry Life But it is with a sense of the incredulous In which I view Human life Separated as we are to self indulgence Family units Singular identities Arrogant; self-centred; egoisms Of division View as we do Individualities And not an Earth bound community And I have to ask myself What has “life” been replaced with Because “life” by this our modern definition of Is a pitifully poor excuse And a pathetic attempt At living And our banal self-sacrament To something greater than this Is a cosmic joke While the isolation for us all merely deepens We defend our own View as we do Individualities And not an Earth bound community These edicts of capitalist religions Ply us with the answers to nothing But keep us going And ever entering the supermarket cathedrals Of our faith in God and Money We; the human commune Are torn apart from fellowship By the unrequited need to survive In a world that makes us pay its price For existence And all, all are so enamoured of cultural surety That this could be, the only way to be That we drown and survive Between riches and poverty View as we do Individualities And not an Earth bound community It is a sickened and dire state in which we find ourselves Yet still clinging desperately To our only explanation of ourselves This feeding upon a planets wealth To support our own twisted vision Of ourselves And beneath the black blood of society The cancer grows For deep in our hearts each one of us knows The inalienable right The potential of every Earth born child I look on with Incredulity At the sheer volume of greed and waste That humanity accepts As being “normal” View as we do Individualities And not an Earth bound community I draw in oxygen The sweet and foul odours The same as you I breathe And in its life giving rapport I exist Of blood exchanges in corpuscle energies Transmitted Maintains Thoughts awareness and grasp On immediacy Existential In its poetry Life
