When did it start?
When does it end?
Evolution
Developmental process, flowing only forward
Or spiraling in between and through
Back and forth
Looping upon itself
Altogether now?
What comes first, chicken or egg?
Reaction, Renunciation
Rebellion, Repudiation
Reconciliation, Restoration?
In what order do we travel
From one to the other
Naive and immature at first
Innocent even
Something happens
REACT
No power or control
The child reacts in whatever ways
Can help the child survive
Those ways stick with the child
Who grows older
Rebellion or renunciation, next
Or, both at the same time
Waving a flag, protesting
Joining a cultish crew
Community of those likeminded
And resistant
To the status quo
To our parents and their generation
To our forefathers, foremothers
To our ancestors
Were there really the good ole days
The Golden Age when all was beautiful
Healthy and everyone happy?
Or have we always endured, nay always
Participated in such conflict as humans?
Hey, they think we are the rebels
We think they are!
We renounce their behaviors
They renounce ours
Each of us uses all these words
That start with R's
When comes the revolution?
Early on as a baby, a child
Rotates, revolves around parents
Later, revolting against all
The conditioning and programming
Behaviors that were cruel and unjust
Inflicted upon us, some without any
Harmful intention whatsoever
In fact, they thought they were
Helping us
Resisting without violence
Repudiating without war
Revolting against and for what?
Back to reaction and maybe move
To reconciliation and restoration, perhaps
Oh, Holy Spirits, gods and goddesses
Let us reconcile and restore
In whatever ways we can
Let us make our choices based on
Information, intuition and what may
Be best for the whole community
(But, there are so many different
Kinds of communities, full of diversity)
Maybe instead of all this hard work
Trying to extinguish the others
And rise to power ourselves
We will just stick with our tribes and
Battle
All of the time
Ubiquitous and Ad Infinitum
That will work, right?
Let us find another
New contemporary and evolving way now
Full of Magic, Miracles, and Spirit
