Poem Artwork

We see these days
A painted song-bird
Upon a bamboo twig
Instead of
A Coca-Cola poster

And a fair lady
Upon a hang-scroll,
Instead of the figure
Of a playboy,
Sitting imposingly
In a Lamborghini

And a goldfish
Flashing in a lotus pool
Instead of
The white-headed eagle’s
Swooping –
The homespun truth.

Though the comparison
Is too much influenced
By the Oriental arts,
The notion is there –
We are all twisted
Into the matrix
Of mankind.

We can have it all or nothing. But we all have to learn how to live more within our means. It has been predicted that over half of the species now living will be extinct by the end of the century. The Oriental way of living has resulted in an immense population focused in a very small part of the world. Seemingly living in harmony with nature. But is it true, or just a myth perpetuated by history? At both ends of the spectrum, the seething masses consuming crumbs in the mud and the gluttonous wealthy claiming the very best as personal trophies, does not make us a better world, only one that is doomed.

Indeed the perennial tradition speaks of the unity and oneness of all things in the universe, whether eagle, goldfish, or playboy in a Lamborghini.
