Fractions Make Factions, Space Pools Together
Were you ever taught
In your years in school
That fractions make factions
Which divide and rule
The parts of a whole
Cut apart from its home
As a lifeless One
A figure abstracted from the ground of its being
All alone?
.
I bet that you weren’t
Told what you learnt
Would split your sides
At odds with each other
And every where else
With no room for Mother
To quell their internal strife
And bring back to life
Their place in the current
That flows in and flows out
From every body
Made from darkness & light
In mutual rapture
.
Now, what can we do
To retrieve what we all knew
From the moment of birth
Before told that we must
Put all of our trust
In stories of old
Leaving us out in the cold
Shivering with fright
In the deadness of night
To be divided and ruled
By overpowering might?
.
All we need to perceive
The card up the sleeve
Is that space does not separate us
And boundaries aren’t fixed
But each in the other
Serves us as mother and father
Receptive and responsive to our needs
For care and sustenance
Pooling us swimmingly together
Where every one is a home
Unique, but never alone
In natural neighbourhood
.
