30. The Precipice

Humanity… stands on the precipice.

Captive to the corporate appetite for profit.

Our insatiable consumption created the ledge

and now beckons us to jump off it.

We’re held at this edge by collective in-action.

And media, politicians, and advertisers creating factions.

The devil of consumerism grins with each transaction,

knowing ‘things’ will never deliver satisfaction.

But more, more, more, remains our collective re-action.

As we writhe in a frenzied egoic-spasm,

and in sickeningly-full stomach’s - fear breeds.

Scared egos brainwashed as slaves of separate needs.

Life on separateness’ edge

is about ‘Me’ to hell with ‘We’.

Thus, We stay chained to the wheel.

As an excavator of progress digs round our feet.

Mother Earth is literally

sweating hurricanes as she overheats.

Our soil is being sacrificed before us.

Rich, life-giving, fertile dirt is disappearing

faster than Earth’s forests.

As the promises we built lives on

now fail us.

The transition to Oneness,

requires changes most courageous.

Because the behaviors and actions of today

have life itself shackled

to an existential ledge as prey.

Until once more we engage all ‘others’

in and as a unified presence

and turn this hell we’ve made…

back into heaven.
