"mobilisation" poems
Americans live with fear.
Fear of being found out for what they are….an incredibly insecure people populating the most powerful nation on earth.
The power of Wall St. feeds their fear in the belief that the nation’s leaders and political machine have been bought and sold by big money.
In fact the only candidates registering positively in the current Primary elections are those who feed the fear. Trump feeds the fear every time he opens his big mouth.
Hillary engenders fear because she is a WOMAN who can, most probably, win the votes which will give her the Presidency in November next.
Americans fear the resurgence of Asia in China’s burgeoning thermonuclear militarist stance, the utter unpredictability of the simmering, India, Pakistan standoff
And the instability of the plump, demonic, demagogue armed with the atomic weaponry in the bleak wasteland that is North Korea.
Islam’s mobilisation scares Americans witless. The savagery of the Isis personifies all that is promised by an expanding worldwide Islamic threat.
And then there is Putin's Russia.
The encapsulation of American fear though, is painted graphically, starkly, by the nation’s absurd fascination, obsession, with the hand gun.
Everyone has a hand gun, in the car, in the office, in the mall, in the bedroom…..some even strap a hand gun on the hip to go to church.
Americans, first and foremost, fear each other.
Fear of the fear exacerbated by more fear.
Americans live with fear.

adherents of Darwinism
never ask the right questions,
they never ask awe-inspiring
questions...
they always ask the
self-assured
permanent questions...
sure, Aristotle was wrong
and Darwin was right...
but at least Aristotelian thinkers
asked the wrong questions
and prolonged life:
while Darwinian thinkers
asked the right cul de sacs
worth of ******** -
Darwinism merely said:
philosophy begins with yawns...
truly it begins with awe...
but yawns it is...
you can be right
but nonetheless insolent in approach...
while also being wrong
but nonetheless solvable
and accommodating in approach...
what is the meaning of life?
to ask impermanent (particular) questions
rather than ask permanent (universal) questions...

evil good
morality
without a compass.
to ask but never ask in order to
encompass an answer (replication) -
to ask in order to
experience the full potency of asking per se,
and to ask it to stage
the fullest mobilisation of
creating ontological
momentum...
a life not questioned
is not a life worth moralisation: akin to
the Socratic investigation and the worth of living...
hence the morality analogue:
a life not investigated is not worth living...
a life not questioned is not worth moralising...
to question is to become moral:
the more questionable the more moral -
the more moral the less impressionable.
