“They call it the theatre of war for a reason. Nearly all wars are manipulated or arranged. The people who die and suffer are mostly the extras in the production. Those are the soldiers and the citizens. While the main players, the main actors, secretly meet backstage sipping champagne.”
“Take off your clothes and post a selfie,
A million animals will shower you attention.
But cover up all and open your heart,
Only precious few humans will care to listen.”

“Esperanza Impossible Sonnet 18
Clothes or the lack of it, don't make,
A person obscene, only behavior does.
Who are you to judge someone's expression,
But, here there are plenty grey areas!
Problem is, when obscenity becomes expression,
Misbehavior is deemed declaration of independence.
Too many people confuse attention with admiration,
And a stunt as some wonderful achievement.
Accepting obscenity as freedom of expression,
Is like showing tolerance to intolerance.
Posing butt naked on instagram, unless you're pornstar,
Is like barging into capitol with a flag confederate.
We must find a balance between comfort and conscience.
Civilization falls apart when we can't tell the difference.”

“Dogfish
I wanted
The past to go away, I wanted
To leave it, like another country; I wanted
My life to close, and open
Like a hinge, like a wing, like the part of the song
Where it falls
Down over the rocks: an explosion, a discovery;
I wanted
To hurry into the work of my life; I wanted to know,
Whoever I was, I was
Alive
For a little while.
…mostly, I want to be kind.
And nobody, of course, is kind,
Or mean,
For a simple reason.
And nobody gets out of it, having to
Swim through the fires to stay in
This world.”

“To wear simple, reveals a lot.
To live simple, feels a lot.
To own less, heals a lot.
To speak less, speaks a lot.”

“Give up your chase of goldmine,
Labor in the caverns of soulmine.
You shall be rich where it really counts,
Beyond the dreams of animalkind.”

“Lower the animal, fancier the extravagance,
Fancy car, fancy clothes, fancy mansion.
Higher the human, simpler the existence,
Simple life orchestrates mindful ascension.”
