Governance v Government

Proclivity in Governance: the epistles

(politics: the use of intrigue or strategy in obtaining a position of power or control.)

Politics is archaic;

a rootless parasite

on the processes

by which all systems

of life on our planet

evolve and are refined

in the slow heat of the

Universal feast.

Politics is mechanized system-
not to be feared nor sanctified
but known without acknowledgement-

by which systemic greed supplants

compassionate governance.

Not government,

for there is no debt in it;

governance is activity undertaken
en colonia, a living motility toward goodness,
within which individuals can respond ;
a dialectic by which mutation,
qualitative change,
is potentiated.

Government is absent identity,

fixed, speaking only politics,
impervious to reason,
seeking only sustenance stolen
by engulfing governance' spirit
in any of its aspects.

Planet Dwellers:
Live in compassion
so as to

create no gall
upon which

the political parasite feeds.

The beast has insinuated its

deathly arms

into every human archetype,

attempting to permeate the beliefs

through which good can be done

and greed is pushed

outside of the living memory.

Greed run amok seeks only

to destroy what exists for the other;

life shelters within the space

between greed and its

desire.
Politics is greed's language,

spoken by the jackals

that devour if only

to deprive.

Politics is cold, an undead language

from the crypt, emerging from between lips

that intersperse

this faux communication

within our words,
it sullies them.

Sans sanctity.

It is the snake devouring

its tail.

Not a living process but

deadly as war and robbery;

a system, a fully geared intention

toward possession of sensibilities,

precluding a human,

an altar, a lofty spire,

the sea,
tomorrow.
