When one withholds their perspective,
This is the most sour grape.
That is like wine gone bad,
Caustic & acidic.
Destructive to the natural flow
Of the great amphoras.

They call them crocodile tears
When animals muddy the waters
By disturbing silt or dirt
And thereby obscuring/obstructing
What is otherwise a clear view.
As like pouring wine into a cup of water.
1 - Ate, the greek god of moral blindness & error.

2 - Bacchus was a title of honor denoting a leader in all fields. I.e. Science, philosophy, poetry, music, et cetera. Similarly, as an actual leader of a given area or nation.

Also, this is solely about muddying waters in regards to understanding. Understanding whoever, whatever, whenever. In reference specifically to the waters of the Nile.

The Gordian Knot?
¹ The mesh of civilization.

To untie it is to understand it,
To know it.
This is to TIGHTEN it.

To cleave it is to try to conquer it;
It all comes undone,
Never to be re-strung.

You can be Prometheus,
Who was actually always celebrated,
Or you can be Aeneas -
The one who was really ChAINhed to the rock.

What matters is learning,
² All else is for naught.
1 - Or the fabric of the universe.

2 - Naught or, more aptly, Knot. All else is which we might tie or untie in either attachment or liberation is itself for civilization.

"And it is I
Deciding where & when, if,
¹ You shall go."

"And it is I
Who rows from shore to shore
² Ferrying each passenger."
1 - From the "underworld." The ovaries, ******. Cycles

2 - From the "shores." The fallopian tubes, ******. Birth

My nests you lay,
Learning to create before you are even created.
Protected by my daughters,
Medusa & Pythia.
Likewise, neither shall you truly sink before you swim.
The womb. Eggs.

My waters you wade,
Learning to swim before you even walk.
Protected by my sons,
Castor & Pollux.
Similarly, provided for & cared for.
The testicles. *****.

To conquer is to make a new companion.
² We are stronger together.

No companion can be had from a conqueror .
All must be equal.

For the inherent difference of each mentioned is too vast.
Such gaps can never be bridged.

¹ And the river swells
So that one can not ford it
Without some assistance.
1 - The Nile. Multifaceted

2 - To conquer indifference & to overcome our differences.
