The Lie of Equality and Truth of Universality
("Niobe's Tear", 2020, original encaustic)
The Lie of Equality and Truth of Universality
The world has always been divided
Along lines of haves and have nots
In whatever way you wish
To measure the having.
The difference today is
Inequality is no longer acceptable.
But since it clearly exists - empirically
In whatever way you measure -
And since one of those measures
Is the

A Mere Equilibrium
I want to live and die at the same time,
In this asylum, I am nothing but a dime.
I pray for the grotesque fame,
None, but the Master wants to get me out of playing this game.
In this asylum, I live a lie,
The river Life is nothing but a gridlocked tie.
I want to be alive until

So Hard To Feel For Others, Other-Wheres
I
The voids between galaxies
Look empty, but in the way of Zero
Black Holes and voids hold Eternities
The universe is a multiverse too
II
How do I, with such Space, identify?
Here: ground after the ground where I die
Where war breaks out, we ARE one family
When tsunamis suck millions of lives!
III
In life we will have days we WALK globally
Some

Universality
Spanning time and seeming often
Immortal in its teeming,
Enveloping elements abound like the
Sunshine in its beaming!
Art, love, music, prayer,
Greed, color, hate and religion,
All needed as an implement
As if an elaborate contagion!

Universality
Pride in humanity, is pride in our superficiality
We stand for unity, but lack solidarity
Represent flexibility, but don’t understand diversity

Not for each other, not for anything
To cultivate meaning, to stand for something
When our hands fail to deliver
The spirits must

Universality
through closed curtains
shot a path of light
a shape so straight and strong
coming from the sun
it didn't take long
in and through the room
it chased away gloom
and stopped on my closet door
it brightened a space
where colors take place
floating in the beam
where tiny little things
that without the beam
are never seen
dust and lent
quite possibly and entire planet
who knows how
