our natural state

Pavlov’s dogs are salivating bells of nature ring as every action yields consequences stimuli evoke a response and primeval instincts dance with evolution ‘I think therefore I am’ jingles in the mind while valid emotions seek freedom from primordial shackles and chainsaws ‘progress not perfection’ I hear you say a cornerstone headway and presupposition for a purposeful life of truthful meaning it is only natural to doubt in disbelief so many answers but what is the question when the personal is political and belligerent affairs are demeaning the Self runs riot in justification as ill judgements and warfare take over canines drool dribble spit fire yet monkeys share their spoils and bananas humans however claim ultimate fitness in their fight over natural resources account for behavioural actions in grandiose faith only in themselves the planet is crying out for pity and mercy and of course I am a mere cog in the wheel spun out of control from kindness love compassion a whole is more than the sum of global destruction as the clock keeps ticking to the desperate sound of destruction and evil we are brutal self-centered savages wild at heart and remonstrate ‘it is only the natural state of affairs’ lack objections remorse and reprieve soothe our consciences with sweet babble of paradise with apples and megalomania in a snake pit in which fruit fall too close to the stem decompose into rancid cynical cider ferment toxic venomous black outs does or should life really flow on its own slaves to collective insanity wreckage and carnage we wield words swords mine fields of Ego and the world and its nature could be so beautiful without such axes of evil bedlam instead of respect for a Universe so much bigger than greed 07th January 2025
