You can’t be good by looking good.
You can’t be good by tricking someone
into thinking you are good,
or by having someone rewrite history
to say you are good.
You can only be good by being good.
You can’t be good by looking good.
You can’t be good by tricking someone
into thinking you are good,
or by having someone rewrite history
to say you are good.
You can only be good by being good.
Is we don’t agree on the nature of being – indeed, we hardly ever even consider or discuss this – and without this foundation we can’t agree on social boundaries. The problem, moreover, is that being is not inclined to disclose itself definitively. Apparently, it is not our place to know anything with certainty. Given that, maybe we don’t actually have a problem at all, just the illusion of a problem.
Which leads me to my next poem:
GOD INTENDED IT TO BE A MESS
Obviously
This problem of not being
who you are will not be
solved here where
the wind will blow you
from the bike
