Resolution is the frame
that makes the picture hang
without a lean; if you want –
a fantasy, an empty end we’re being
framed to live our lives without.
To find a simple out. The threat we
face is our acuity for sheer success,
what else compares – is as magnificent,
and yet, indeed, a greater tragedy?
I wrote about a need to plant a seed
to seek solution, but not one born of
this kind of financial revolution.
The phrase to go comes clearly
from those halls of power, pleases
eyes that pare the bottom line,
debases hedonism, disgraces claims
determinism in economies embrace
all of humanity – yet the free market
plays with boundless vagaries.
Let ebb and flow in world-wide trade
invade its greater good. If it weren’t
for greed it could efface the mess we
face each day of gross excess. And
greater good you must believe is key
to our success as much as necessary
lies for our complete demise.
We predicate our current view off
future growth – we can’t maintain the
rate we desecrate but grow we must
until the dust of history chokes. We need
a change of pace and change of view,
one that will sustain a human race.
