Rabbit Silence

by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen — Read all 1,670 poems by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

Friday, June 30, 2006

I love our baby rabbits,
But, hate the thought
Of their futures-wise.

‘I wonder why’ I think,
And, I know, predators rule.

I think baby rabbit teeth,
When they stretch and yawn,
Are full of hopefulness,
Of the incredibly young…

Primitive, young … passionate,
Yet, speechless.

Rabbit’s propagate
With short-lived passion,
And, then they wait,
In their pens. When
they are penned.

When they are not,
they die…

Is that why we decide
To become penned rabbits?

Fornicate then lock yourself in or die. This brings up a lot of issues. 1) Is there any evidence people would die if they didnt lockthem selves in afterwards.

2) Consider either/both freud and malthus. Freud said that the sex drive was the primary drive (leading to reproduction or a self exisitng wind up like ley that evolution selects for? Or is it overwritten by the thrist for life. A role reveral like phenomonom of the recent philosophers. Sex or die changes to live or sex. Life is a more immediate problem than reproduction so we have a compromise-reproduce and confine yourslf. And what does confinement cause? neurosis-lose of common sense and perspective which can be totally lethal for the futue regardless if we undergo a peoiod of unconfinment or continue to reproduce if ruin nature from a lack of common sense. Lust usually doesnt have the vote but with the younger, but whom can lock themselves in-even conceptually do things by strict mathematical definition as an act of locking them selves in and who least accept the end of life, to ignorantly stear us all to a destruction from curiosity -putting there eyes in the yards of others-seeking- Those in foreign lands are very strict about the youg-intercourse -etc with strong demeands to restrict themselves to home-the familiar. America is a very youmg place compared with the rest of the world.

To condense this we have lustfully inserted ourselves afar and brought with us an invit-from who it came. Nietzsche wrote in a very concerned direct manner two centuries ago that "blood poisoning was spreading throught Europe" and then men were alll assertively confident acting of a conquering of man himself-a loss of vision to the total and with it a loss of the basic profundity seeding element of fear. His exact description though two centuries ago in an era we could see as relatively backwards technologically-very different from today-nearly exactly resembling todays wisdom to wear blinders-get ahead for a better living only-very mediocre men seeming satisfied gratiated-knowing a very small fraction of the world they assume knowledge of....



Thank you for your poem-a new fact of nature I was not aware of.

There will always be some danger in reaching outside of our safe zones. I believe the rabbits are you in this one Erin.

For in doing so we make ourselves vulnerable to everything we can't control. I believe it better to reach out without any expectations and then whatever good is given, use it to enrich our lives and grow, and then toss the rest.

Thought provoking poem, Erin; when I was little, a family of rabbits moved into the garage, under the car...haven't thought about that in years. I agree with Susan, perhaps we're watching each others backs...well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

We have rabbits that visit here. They used to hop away when I went outside and now they feel amused and just watch me. Perhaps we're both expecting a predator.

I admire the incite in your pen.
Susan
