The Idea


          The Idea

I was disgusted with humanity
By around 1950.  What could be
Behind so much of the warring
Going on? I wondered.  Surely
There was more to it
Than just our primate template,
                                    warring
Territorially.  No.
                  There was obviously
                                    more
Going on.  And f finally
After many years more
Figured it out.  The answer
                                    was
              money.
         Or more precisely,
Interest-bearing money.            
                     Otherwise
                      known as
                            usury.
For, acquisition of which type
                      of money
Pitted us against one another
                 instead of drawing
                               us closer
                        together   
                 in common cause
                 on this wondrous
                         planet.

                   There is more
                           to it
                    than just that.
(For example, the effect
Of an Ice Age
On our psyche
When it was dog
Eat dog
Or perish.)          But
                        you get
                 the idea.
            And especially
              now that we
               can create
        whatever we need
                             out
                 of the air
                 and light
                around us.
           And just in time
           it would appear,
                           more 
                    and more.

         So, let’s be
            about it.
           Tempus
              fugit.
      To our mutual
            benefit.
     But will remain
          available
     for cooperation
      as long as we
         remember
              Who
            we are:
          Our true
            identity

         as brothers
         and sisters
       of our mutual
           Creator
           Source,
         of course.

    (How could it be
            other
         wise???)
