Pretentious & Self-Indulgent

So it seems
So it is
For me
Nothing is certain
Nothing lasts
But life
And change
My line began with many others
In what is now Kenya
It continues through so many places
Specificity
Makes me
Greek
German
Italian
African
And everything in between
How ridiculous racial pride is
How ridiculous national pride is
We are all one race
Human
Carbon based life forms
More alike than different
Revenge stirs us to action
More than love
Greed
Anger
Lust
Hold sway over the mind
The mind which can sway all
With effort
Much effort
Some difficulty
It’s easier to be angry
Primal instincts lead us there
The tough
Hard-assed
Men
Women
Are weak
Their weakness lies in their ideas of
Strength
Power
Happiness
Might makes right is wrong
The mighty may write history
Though history is
Dwarfed by the universe
Dwarfed by 11 dimensions of physicality
Dwarfed by an idea of the infinite
Energy transformed
Not destroyed
Happy transformation
