There exists
such a distorted need
to be inflexible and stagnant
Not allowing change...
Dangerously
Coming close to becoming
a "caricature of our former glorious selves"
How sad...
that it happens…
but even worse …
that it still does not
ignite change.
It must be agonizing
To be driven by the fear
of appearing weak
or too radical
or loosing perceived powers
or social placements.
Suffering through spiritual implosion
dreading condescension
or rejection.
By peers
let alone
From a creator
That they barely believe in…
I wish there was
really
something I could do
to help.
