Abandoning Assimilation
Can't we just speak poetry,
the way it escapes the depths of our being,
in whatever order the words flow,
experiences beckoning the Gods, stealing
from the godhead what it doesn't want
to reveal - and revealing what should stay
in silence: those who should be procreating
are those who don't want to, those who shouldn't,
those who believe purpose is found in children,
are those who overpopulate the globe:
evolution by natural selection: not with
resentiment, not with christian ideals;
we become more and more diverse,
yet needs cause us to assimilate:
we can never abandon the herd
in reality, while in spirit,
perhaps eventually, abandonment will
become the norm, and will cancel itself out:
for if we all were to abandon,
becoming individuals, we would all be
individuals and abandonment would
soon need to abandon even this: it would
be impossible to head home to assimilation,
which would be abandonment and the individual,
but the individual itself would need to be negated:
Soon we will need to abandon even this negation:
can we revert back at any stage without contradiction?
Perhaps we can jump two stages back and start again.
Once one becomes the norm and a new abandonment is taught
that new abandonment becomes the norm and must be abandoned:
is this progress? or do we in fact never leave the first stage?
Or do we end up back at the first stage, abandoning abandonment?
