It Confuses Me

It confuses me when you claim to understand what i want yet you are the one who hardens my life and makes me go mad It confuses me when you say that you love and cherish them yet you hurl insults and beat them up without even pitying their dear lives It confuses me when you laugh,praise me and show loyalty when im with you but talk crap about me to anyone you will come across It confuses me when you shed painful tears and lament because of injustice yet you are the one who remains behind when we are all sharpening our swords for war It confuses me when you call yourself blessed and God fearing yet you are the same one who walks in the dark stealing from the poor and plotting evil against people

Yes, there are a lot of ambiguities in our life, behavior, deeds, philosophy,sciences, faith and great expectations...Kind of negative dialectics (present in your poem, too) could let us understand that logic is not enough...Feelings are not enough...Theodor W. Adorno speaks about ”cultural industry”, failure of reason proved by the greatest troubles of mankind) times. His Imperative is to resist to the temptation of goods.
