I will not walk with your progressive apes, erect and sapient...

if by God's mercy progress ever ends,

and does not ceaselessly revolve the same

unfruitful course with changing of a name.


...Then looking on the Blessed Land 'twill see,

that all is as it is, and yet made free...

~J.R.R. Tolkien~


As a fire when kindled

makes fuel into ash,

so the fire of wisdom

makes actions into ash.

~Bhagavad Gita 4:37~

What Have We Done?


What have we done?
From the fragility we came, upon the greatness of nature
Digging deeply through the soil and crawling high up to the sky

What have we done?
Singing a song of torture, always to ourselves
Dreaming night and day, always’bout despair

What have we done?
Looking always to mirrors,but never through it
Telling truth always to others, but never to ourselves

Here, in this particular place and time
The wheel we spin are sewing the thread to a marvelous piece of silk
But we ignore it, always.

What have we done?
