the only thing in this life that isn’t temporary is mortality
we all live under her shroud both individually and collectively
we are surviving on a planet perilously close to mass extinctions
in the face of utter barbarism we are organizing a fierce resistance
living in the moment is a challenge—finding enlightenment is an art
we can work towards a world where our entire human tribe will play its part
dinosaurs ruled the earth for eons then were destroyed in a cataclysmic instant
we arose from their ashes blessed with the divine powers of a holy infant
muslim or buddhist—jewish or christian—all of our faiths speak to spiritual transcendence and to sacred insight
whether resonating through stars or through prophets our spiritual energy can let revolutionary dreams take flight
mortality is a fact—both a gift and a curse
it can allow us to live and move on—and give way to karmic rebirth
to embrace the circle of life is to hear the voices of our ancestors
we live many times over repeating what they teach us
we reckon with mortality and celebrate our divinity
we are building a new world and compiling the revelations of our anarchist ministries
