Rotting


Humans have 
such 
amazing abilities
stupendous features
and
solid perfections.
But also 
many 
many 
and immense 
moral deficiencies.
There is such 
great contrast 
in our expressions. 
It almost seems as if 
there are different 
beings at work. 
Other species. 

There's 
those that 
are 
driven by light 
and growth 
and there's 
those
that are rotten. 
Infected. 
Where most 
have a little 
or a great 
deal 
of both. 

We wildly 
throw ourselves 
into unreasonably charitable 
deeds 
spurred 
by the nausea of our 
festering 
atrocities. 
We then guilt 
ourselves 
into love. 
Degenerate love.

There have 
been
a few  
too few
instants
in which I looked 
at you 
where I could have 
sworn that you too 
felt a tenderness 
free from all 
that baggage. 
Where I felt 
that 
you too 
understood all 
of it. 
But just like me 
and you are 
just like me
you had to let it 
go. 
So it too 
could exist 
freed from all 
that. 
Baggage. 
That was 
the claim. 

All it did 
was 
store things 
for later processing. 
We remain 
uncharted 
until then. 
Isn't that 
sad 
for each and everyone 
of us?
