I feel the pent up malice of your avaricious life,
\nFeeling your love and hate and disregard.
\nWhose fettered minds create me?
\nOf course it’s yours, for you make me what I am.<\/p>\n
I am your problem.<\/p>\n
You: you are sociable; consciable;
\nYou set up all the right charities to extricate yourself.
\nA few weaker links in your chain really even care.
\nAnd you do create me: you make me what I am.<\/p>\n
You are my problem.<\/p>\n
Together we put up the facade of working together;
\nYou with your charities, me, the cause of causes.
\nAnd a few weaker links in your chain really know,
\nWe create each other, I made you what you would be.<\/p>\n
I am all your problems.<\/p>\n
You call yourself civilization as you know it.
\nHa! civilization as you would have it be!
\nIt cannot be.
\nCivilization doesn’t come for free,
\nThe civilized aren’t free.<\/p>\n
You are society, civilized society.
\nProgressive society.
\nA coming together of a species to usurp a race,
\nPerhaps a planet, perhaps me.<\/p>\n
You are society.<\/p>\n
Me?<\/p>\n
I am
\nEvery other living thing in the universe.
\nLiving species, living suns and stars,
\nLiving grains of sand,
\nLiving seas, and plants and planets;
\nThe living air you breathe.
\nDon’t you see?<\/p>\n
I am your problem.
\nYou go everywhere, in your cars,
\nYour planes, boats and trains.
\nYou can’t escape me.<\/p>\n
You go everywhere I already am.
\nBut still you don’t even know,
\nThe only place I can’t go,<\/p>\n
Is away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
