Kali Yuga

Here in the Kali Yuga (Dark Age) We are no longer sustained by the high And mighty order of Tradition Instead waves of chaos Swell on the tide of freedom What was high is brought low And what was low is held high If only for an instant As eventually all men Rise and fall to their natural level. Here in the Kali Yuga As we wander blindly in the dark, dissolution reigns And so as we wouldn’t expect a child To understand why We shouldn’t expect the newborn woke mass To understand who they are or what they do These are the times of dissolution after all When the ignorant embrace their ignorance as wisdom. To everything its season - this being the season of destruction and want - To everyone their time - this being the time to retreat and preserve - Till when the tide turns and flood abates And the scorched and scoured earth regrows. Then even the children of the flood May see the need to know And perhaps their children will inherit A capacity and ability evolution Chose a generation to skip. Until then we wait in silence In caves and archipelagos And gather the inner forces We’ll need to face the dawn. (12/1/23)
