Collateral



The Cosmos

is collateral damage

in a sudden thought

 

The state of the world

is collateral damage

in the rage

of the holy ego

 

Love

is collateral damage

in a falling feeling

 

Hate

is collateral damage

in the misconception

of pluralism

 

Religion

is collateral damage

in forced thoughts

 

Pain

is collateral damage

in physical and psychic obsession

 

You

are collateral damage

in Me

 

Time

is collateral damage

in the denial of nothingness

 

Life

is collateral damage

in Restless Death

 

I

am collateral damage

in the idea of myself

"You _ are collateral damage _ in Me" touché!

Such a lot of collateral damage, and yet you were constructional in writing this poem so full of thought provoking statements that it will take quite a while to digest.
