Collective Karma

.
this seminary of relativities

defines
rights and wrongs
miracles and abominations
awe and antipathy
love and loathing

perpetuates the corporeal world of
sensibility
vitality and subsistence

calibrates
the unfavourable and auspicious
evil and virtue
weak and strong
unhealthy and sound

so if come
malakim
messiahs
bodhi....

then needs be
lucifers
mephistopheles
ignorance....

to harmonise
counterbalance
keep the dream
in redeeming equilibrium

Favorite Poets: Favourite poets? So many, so varied. I like particular songs, not necessarily the singer... and the same goes for poetry. I can honestly say though, that Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman was what inspired my love of poetry - my mother began reading it to me when I was still a baby, and it became my favourite bedtime story

You got it right, Sounds a

You got it right, Sounds a bit Manichean. The world is a struggle between opposites. There is universal GOOD and EVIL. There is a constant dialectic between the two, but no synthesis in tis struggle is possible,
