Verbindung
Only connect…
Refuse the amputated life,
the ghost limb of being.
The flesh must be felt in the flesh.
Silicon brains cannot know compassion.
We must make room for discovery.
Only uncertainty soothes.
The sarcastic mockers
have created little men
and made a fine living off misery.
If we are to live, we must find
the neurons that fire love
and ignite them joyously.
Verbindung creates
kin, kindred, kind.
Mutual separation leads only
to muddy trenches, unholy camps,
desolation, lonely graves.
Accept the Communion of Connection.
Penetrate the Mystery of Us.
Abandon death to those
who choose not to live.
Don’t fear the Reaper.
Creaking skeletons know nothing.
Expect nothing from them.
Live among the living.
Never separate. Together.
