We Love

Being human, we love.

We sometimes lose our bearings,

our moral compasses high-jacked

by a rogue magnetic wave

skewing us toward greed and comfort

and I'm-all-right-Jack.

And then (though being human, we still love)

then we love in the wrong direction

guided by the Zeitgeist,

replacing eschewed wisdom

with the merely clever.

We are off track.

 

What would it be like to forgo the TV

and its technological cousins

and allow ourselves to drift back to the natural:

the earth,

the bark of trees,

the wild seas.

Taking care of these

will lead us not toward destruction

but toward what,

being human,

we need: love.
