"It's Human nature.."
Implies nature
Is a collection
Of human attributes.
Rather than,
To be
Human.
is
To be
Part of Nature.
How then
To delve below
The surface?
Of my
Very humanity?
Why of course
By
Going down
The rabbit-hole!
Ironically
That quest began
At a time
I would have believed
To have
"Hit the bottom"
It was.
A bottom.
Determined by me.
But it wasn't,
As low as,
Could be gone.
Nor was it,
The core of being.
There are endless
Categories and classifications.
That are virtually,
Useless, at defining
The nature
Of
The nature
of
Self
Different collectives.
Have very little
Concern,
For how
You might choose
To define yourself.
Theirs
Is a design
To co-opt
Your energy
To the further
Power and existence
Of the group entity
In a widespread
Evolution of consciousness.
And to provide a correction,
To the gross disparity,
and
Widespread oppression.
Of
Women
A necessary
Swing of the pendulum
Such that women
Are able
To more
Readily define
Career path
And
Autonomy
A global
Work in Progress
To be sure
But does it stop there?
No.
There are those,
Whom would presume.
To not only,
Chart their destiny,
As women.
But
Define
What it is
To be "a man."
For any group,
Or individual,
To
Push their agenda,
On another,
Group or individual.
Is a violation
Of their soul.
Yes history
Is replete with examples
Of a table turned.
Still.
It doesn't begin
to address
Cultural group mind,
Being forced on
Other cultures
And these mores
Were upheld
By both genders
It behooves each.
To determine
From their own core.
From their own,
Heart and soul.
How they,
Hold themselves
In the world,
If it was wrong (which it was)
For men
To
Be defining and limiting
The lives of women.
It is no more
Appropriate that men's
Lives be determined
By women.
There is a profound need
For a dropping
Of widespread divineness.
And a meteoric rise,
In empathy, compassion and understanding.
A recognition that humanity
Is "in this"
Together.
The "global village",
And the "Human family",
Need to become,
More than idealism,
Crushed beneath.
The boots
Of dogmas
And a plethora
Of "ism's."
Growing in numbers.
Are those,
That are throwing down,
The chains of their oppression..
Deep rigorously honest
Self-examination
Might well discover
One is, their own oppressor.
This can be seen constantly
In examples of
Individuals that empower themselves
To rise beyond the status quo
Even where totalitarian regimes
Are in power
Soul-aligned self-determination.
Is behind thriving,
For the individual,
Which would directly benefit,
Their community.
The deeper one connects
The "themselves."
The deeper they realize,
They are connected,
To everyone else,
And the planet we live on.
No one ought be left behind.
It is not "human nature,"
That threatens humanity.
Nature sees to it
That survival is
Provided for.
It is greed and power-lust,
That see fit to seed,
The disparity in the world.
Humanity needs
The collective power
Of all it's diversity
Focused on
The good for all.
Continued division,
Will lead to,
Humanities elimination.
Nature.
Always seek to restore,
A balance.
If humanity,
Refuses to align,
With Nature.
Nature will make,
The necessary adjustment.
