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?

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.

the title is COMPLEX IDEAS FOR YOUR SIMPLE TIME
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.
