Enemies

Who and what are the enemies of humanity?

Predators,
 because they undermine trust which is the basis of family and they destroy potential and well-being. They take and they damage and they are useless. Their strength is self-serving and their philanthropy is deadly poison to a society. They should always be destroyed once they are discovered. For this reason predators should be the primary focus of any penal justice system. Removing or destroying one predator has a disproportionately positive impact on the stability and well being of a community.
Predatory capatilism has been superficially effective because of it's innate ruthlessness but the repurcussions of it's largely unimpeded progress are a significant contributor to the unrest that is destabilising the world. It should be dismantled and the short term loss regarded as a massive long term gain. 

Cul-de-sacs of thought,
 because they stop people from progressing and progress is essential to humanity. To sharpen their faculties, to deepen their comprehension and expand their knowledge, to enlarge their internal universe is the great and lasting gift of humanity. To settle in a cul-de-sac of rudely conceived reality is to deny the deep and resonant call of our latent powers. Crude assumptions and mechanistic dogma are the most shabby and ultimately unstable structures for a society to inhabit intellectually and it is unforgivable for an individual to consent to collective ignorance in the name of keeping the peace.

Young Werter the Narcissist

Frankly the suicide of Werter was the act of an egocentric narcissist cheated of the central role in his own little drama. He was the aesthetic Victorian treasure hunter who's rival got there first. He was unable to bare the third spot in the love triangle and constructed his own demise as a way of returning to the top of the bill.   He was undoubtedly in love, not with the fräulein but with what she could do to enhance him. If he had truly loved her he would not have killed himself while she lived. It is a great pity this story influenced a whole generation's worth of pointless romantic posturing when the cause of love would have been better served by a more genuinely selfless conceptualisation of heroism.

Prophecy

If a man should see the future of his own household  There are tents like a flock of birds Resting in the valley plain There are courtyards with grass and water, Balconies hung with flowers There are voices rising with the dawn  Each one beloved There are the treasures of love Gold, silver and pearls Every soul filled with good things

Empty Seats in the Gate

Strong men are weeping  Weeping softly at twilight  The sound rises with the  Smoke of cook fires The city trembles in the  Evening light for As the face of the sun has left the sky The voice of justice has fallen silent in the gate A child has taken his place  From the top of the wall a child lifts its voice  From the gate there is no answer  The eminent men are silent  The landowners examine Hastily written contracts in the  Weak light of a single lamp  Strong men selling their inheritance  For doubtful promises of safety  And the seats in the gate are empty
