Attachment & Repression

She holds on to what she thinks she’s supposed to

holds back everything she feels

Plastic knife culture 

Harsh judgement hails from narrowest vantage

Those whom envy are those whom blame 

Guilt and blame are perfect magnets

High horse stepping stone’s throw away 

lies built on ire stilts 

Humans create societal paradigms no humans can meet 

It’s a game everyone loses 

Simultaneously pretend they’re the happiest generation 

ever walked the earth 

Someone showed her a picture of a starving African child 

and told her she’s lucky

Ever since then, she’s been repressing 

unfulfilled desires and discontent 

in guilt and shame

That’s not gratitude, silly human-person

Telling herself she’s lucky in order to repress her feelings 

She’s lying to herself

And the person who showed her that picture 

of that starving kid 

was also lying to himself 

Of course we should have compassion for those in need

But this doesn’t invalidate our suffering

The whole thing’s a lie

The humans of earth are all steeping in a particular kind of sadness

Palpable sickness which soaks in shallow pools of empiricism

They lie there in that warm puddle pondering the origin of life

It’s the tower of Babel all over again

Plastic knife culture thinks it’ll find God in technology

Like the oppressive sun which never sets

like an endless breath

inhalation which never exhales

The masculine lie of holistic logic

Remember the runaway train

no one’s at the wheel 

An entire generation of humans building lies on top of lies

Nobody’s asking why

Suffering is attachment and repression

They hold on to what they think they’re supposed to

They hold back what they actually feel 

And then they blame each other

for holding on and holding back

differing aspects in varying degrees 

There’s only one way, silly human-person

Let Go.
