A confused morality

Masquerading as equanimity

Cascades over the populace

In the form of vacant generalities

Concepts of a country

Which its borders define as limits of authority

Become conflated with ethnicity

Which leads to charges of hypocrisy

Given claims of equality

And therefore undermine the entire concept

Of the do-gooder state of mind.

Leaving the individual to divine his position -

Relying on no imposed doctrine

Simply his reactions to the situations

In which time has placed him.

Able to withdraw to fight another battle later.

Maybe accept the challenge -

See it as an opportunity.

Become the master of sequence -

As the jab leads to the hook

And the offer of peace

Leads to conversation

Which heads in the direction of moderation

As in all things

The moderate view holds the most weight

Being in the middle

Of seemingly every debate.

How do we come together

In an age of jealousy and hate?

Well, we accept human nature

And give it time to moderate -

We are neither evil, stupid or fake.

We are stardust – infinite and complete.
