PARADOX IN DILEMMA How deceitfully vague and fundamentally wrong that life evolved as a teaser, its seeming balance a plague of predatory migrations and land hungry invasions where serial instability is inflicted instinctively by a schizophrenic throng of smug omniverous feeders in allegiance to yet another flock, herd, pack or tribal leader now turned lying crowd pleaser who quotes the same old song from the military theater of felony wasted treasure to raise higher than ever that phallic imperial tower, pillar of the rich and strong who glean their political power by feigning a moral humility over grifted legal agility so neither good or evil succeed for long, because air, soil and water cannot crash the limits of Earth's creative supply, Man's egocentric hauteur does by amassing profits from a market growing hotter as if God implored to try whatever may feed the habits including animal slaughter when all their high-tech efforts to grow their economic might and expand their religious right depend on cheated squatters whose low wage mass affords their super rich desserts -- now assaulted by deserts and the ecocidal plight of multibillion hordes, and still they render best hope as Heaven, worst fear as Hell, wishing and dreading an early or late surrender in the death of one another so their worthy souls arise from His toxic global cell to gain their happy reprise from an all-forgiving Father? Though raised in obligation to follow His Commandments, no words for His creation, planet Earth and inhabitants, "so are we then a sequential event we did not begin and cannot prevent?" --------- (*) ---------
