You allow and
\nInvite and entice
\nThis society to
\nInfiltrate your
\nTemple with the
\nPoisons of this
\nFallacious life;
\nMost, without a
\nThought or moment
\nSpent wondering
\nAbout the poisons
\nAnd this effluent
\nOf a cost-effective
\nSociety.<\/p>\n
Food is poisoned,
\nMarred by the
\nGreed of cost-
\nEffectiveness;
\nAir is poisoned,
\nSullied by the
\nGreed of cost-
\nEffectiveness;
\nWater is poisoned,
\nMarred by the
\nGreed of cost-
\nEffectiveness;
\nThe mind is
\nPoisoned by the
\nGreed that is
\nCost-effectiveness.
\nLife and health
\nAnd love and war
\nAre undermined
\nBy this odious
\nCost-effectiveness.<\/p>\n
Blindly society
\nAttempts to cure
\nThe diseases but
\nNot the patients,
\nFilling the unwary
\nWith cost-effective
\nPoisons, and removing
\nWhat it cannot contend
\nWith; ignorant of
\nSociety’s poisons which
\nAre at the root of
\nAll that society
\nCannot contend with.<\/p>\n
Society pollutes
\nAll society comes
\nInto contact with:
\nThe universes,
\nExternal and internal,
\nSeen and unseen.<\/p>\n
Nefarious society
\nExerts the influence
\nOf the millions
\nOn its own surroundings,
\nOn the environment
\nWhich must support it –
\nEnvironment internal and
\nExternal, seen and
\nUnseen.<\/p>\n
Society defecates on
\nItself, luxuriating
\nIn its own defecation;
\nDeluding itself in the
\nSatisfaction that its
\nIncontinent of diarrhea
\nWill do no harm.
\nDeluding itself in the
\nIgnorant denial of
\nIts responsibility
\nFor its own future.
\nDeluding itself in the
\nHope that more is better
\nAnd more produced,
\nCost-effectively,
\nWill produce more harmony
\nIn the universes of the
\nMinds of these persons
\nWhom delude themselves
\nWith their own greed.<\/p>\n
Society’s silent and
\nInept war on its own
\nInsecurity and
\nInsatiability
\nMasks but does not
\nSolve; hides but
\nDoes not cure;
\nEnsconces but cannot
\nSecure a safe
\nSociety.<\/p>\n
The rules of this
\nInefficacious war
\nAre made by the same
\nAs those for whom
\nCost-effectiveness
\nIs the guiding force:
\nRules which can no more
\nSecure society’s future
\nThan the documents
\nOn which they are inscribed.
\nRules developed and
\nImplemented
\nCost-effectively.<\/p>\n
How vain it is to think
\nThat the masses of persons
\nWhom, after lifetimes of abortive
\nMithridatism, think nothing of
\nPolluting their own
\nBody temples with the
\nPoisons of a cost-effective
\nSociety; who think nothing
\nOf polluting their minds
\nWith the media of a
\nCost-effective society;
\nWho think ineffectually:
\nVain it is to think these
\nSame persons in this same
\nSociety could ever think
\nAnything of the profanation
\nOf their own environments,
\nInternal and external,
\nThey allow and entice and
\nMake subservient to their
\nCost-effective greed.<\/p>\n
This veil of self
\nIndulgent technology
\nCan never be as the veil of
\nMarriage of society with
\nThe environment that
\nSupports it, but
\nOnly the cerement
\nOf society. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
