Via Axis Vortexia

Via Axis Vortexia

A Poem by Dan Hermann

Mind Engage. Turn the key. Pull the Trigger.

.Feminists. [Human]
.Gays. [Human]
.Jews. [Human]
.Blacks. [Human]
.Latinos. [Human]
.Asians. [Human]
.Skinheads. [Human]

Prevail youth. Your angst of nations. Your justified Righteousness.
Be oppressed. Be angry. Fight for your beliefs.
Prove to the world that you deserve respect.
That you are worth a penny. Worth a nickel. A dime.
A Damn.

Fight for equality. Fight for balance. Hurt to save.
Kill to live. Live to die.

We are created labels. We are race. We are hate.
I am you. You are me. We are [Human].
I am right. You are wrong.
We are children of the apocalypse.
Damned bringers of justice.
Born into a tainted world.
Of murder.
Of desirous Equality.

We are [Human]. Unsatiated. Gluttonous.
Both Fire and Rain.
Created to destroy.
Destroying to create.
Willful and deceitful. Intelligent.

.Liars. [Human]
.Prophets. [Human]
.Lovers. [Human]
.Murderers. [Human]

We are [Human]

Exitement, coclusion, fierce confusion and a pitch-perfect sense of tragi-humor all interact chemically fertilized in your poem. You are severe but never earnest. We sense the 'thinker' behind these thoghts experiments, which were carried on with unflinching warning: diversity is good but it forgot that it creates chaos. you note this and this is the animating principle in the poem is the deep surprise that comes from being intensely awake and from paying close attention to not just the creation of a pattern, but also an examination of the principles behind a pattern. thanks for this.


Nice idea of the title. I speak often about it, especially here, I say in English what you said in latin:

"The vortex of our action in the matter of the spirit
Is the spirit of the matter vortex through our centre,"
(from Earth Is Made In Heaven I.)

Be well,
Lara Gandr�

thank you that for leaving us a moment with your wisdom.
