What? Do you think?


What if

to err is to be human?

But, not universal?


And, we are at best

Elysian mongrels –

in a field –

of wrongful existence;

an inhumane breed

that isn’t meant.

To be?


What? Do you think?

No,

nothing,

not at all.


Despite those Janus

empirical attempts

to civilise – by both

British and otherwise.

Tasking those unfit

with tyrannical wishes

of afternoon tea,

ballroom dances

and decorum

all the while

killing both

domestic and foreign

masses. Making

“civilised” territorial advances;

civilians accosted for the

colonial-cost

of another version of history;

lost;

whitewashed.


What? Do you think?

No,

nothing,

not at all.


An inhumane answer

is cruel enough

to be considered; just.

But,

to care about one another –

is just – too much?

We; this planetary cancer

of uncompassionate

missed chances..

Founded on

beings; lost.


What? Do you think?

No,

nothing,

not at all.


On homeward soil,

does terrafirm suffering

stop?

Outward..

Galactic empathy –

would be what?

Buffering? Double-bluffing.

Never gonna happen?

Watch this space;

amass dispersal.


What if

to forgive; divine

and life’s just a rehearsal

after all?


What do you think?

If all is, really, nothing?

Yes.

Then, there’s really

nothing to lose

at all.
