from the big white/European/Christian/
Abrahamic prison of the mind
is that you're suddenly oppressed
by the freedom to form ideas
enjoyed by Diogenes,
who refused to commit the crime
of optimism.
~
Almost every minute of our waking lives,
encouraged by the solipsistic religions,
we wilfully ignore the titanic
juggernaut of evidence
that we (unlike locusts or red-legged
spider-hunting wasps)
are a blight upon the planet,
and will keep smiling, hoping sadly
or grimly, or with manic
destructiveness right to the finish.
