Losing Ourselves

we create monsters and gods
in our own image...and
but for their abilities
we surrender our capacities
to will and to think...and
hold to moral passwords
while obeying some other will...that
the ability to judge and
draw a distinction is replaced...by
an obligation to fear ourselves
as incapable because we are human...so
separate out the passions and noise as
thinking with them...you are lost
