The Nuremberg Judges

The Nuremberg judges
Are turning in their graves
As their new world order
Becomes the old world order.

The Calculus of Politics

Pause to understand the manifolds of the group…
How derivative the nature of our thinking can be…
How climbing the slope can yield the maximization of power…
How maximal joy can be found through integration. 

Time Traveler

Years ago I went on a future-trip
To an unimaginably distant land
Full of wonders and richness I was unworthy of

Where the natives growled and howled and snarled
Throwing rocks and stones and barbs upon me
Whispering “you don’t belong! you don’t belong!”

Now I live in that distant land
And find no natives, but travelers
All whispering “Do I belong? Do I belong?”

Yet my mind still lies to me and says
In the future lands I must visit
I am unworthy. I do not belong.
