what's been burning inside this month

the solipcism of the magi
leaves them vulnerable
the adversary finds a way
to make himself known
and the will of others can also be strong.
the nihilism of the east
leaves them nowhere
waiting for the body to eat itself
and vanish from the earth
truth is more complex than stories
and language hides a great deal
the tao does not rest
and armageddon is always here
we must pack up all we love
and take it with us across each great divide
in the pioneer journey
called life with all three eyes open.

The great part of this is the Extrapolated Everyday Bullshit Comparison:
"We take the idea under discussion OUT of politics, put it INTO an everyday situation, and see if it holds up."

example:
"Say, oh, your child develops cancer. And he dies, agonizingly. And you find out that your oncologist, Dr. Rumsfeld, really didn't plan out the treatment very well, and also didn't care that your child, your only, sweet, sweet child, was treated with second rate equipment.

And when you confront Dr. Rumsfeld, he shrugs his shoulders and says "You fight cancer with the medicines you have, not the medicines you want."

You'd spend an hour kneeling on his chest, screaming, breaking every bone you could before the orderlies pulled you off."
