We don’t matter,
you know.
As much as we’d like
to be important,
that is how much
we are not.
Thank God for that
as God made us in
God’s self-important image
and that’s all we truly share:
the ego of Being as We Are
and no more. According to
the Bible we were born to,
we named shit and then
screwed up from there and now
we’re in the dark groping toward
a way back. We’re a damn cliche
and are not even individuals within it —
there we are,
exemplars and not people —
trying, desperately,
to make a mark amid
well-deserved skepticism:
we don’t matter, and isn’t it
a relief to not matter
in these times that might
give you a chance
to escape.

Wow! Nail on head as usual. I’d hate to think I played any significant part in getting us to this point as a nation or even humanity! And more and more I see how ideas that seemed so good at the time have horrible side effects that make things worse! Scary!
