Do not race after riches,
do not risk your life for success,
or you will let slip the Heaven within you.
TAOISM
Chuang Tzu 29
Where i live
no one races after riches-
people breathe riches, sweat riches, grow riches.
They grow them on their body
like cancerous atrocities
and signs of the poverty
of their spirit.
They are blind to beauty
deaf to silence
numb to the caresses of the Earth.
They eat away their Mother's flesh
laughing
waste the pure gift of her lungs
loafing about
crush the crystal essence of her blood
dancing.
The Heaven within them
is open wide
but they stuff its gate
with their pride
and greed
and ignorance.
How can i live among them
and not be infected?
