The bottom line

It is all about belonging isn't it ?
First, when we arrive here
we are clearly informed
of what belongs to what
and who belongs to who.
As toddlers we suck the nipples
that belong to us and we belong to them.
Later our nation, our religion enters the picture.
We are introduced to our territories
our boundaries our designated areas
our identities are spelled out for us
our names, our numbers, our birthmarks.
It is assumed without any doubt
that Earth is divided amongst many nations
who have throughout the centuries
been fighting wars to defend
or expand their boarders.
Then there is the issue of money
who has it and how powerful it can be.
Just about anyone will do
just about anything to obtain it.
It is so powerful it can even convert people
into becoming the belongings of those
who have the wealth and means to own.
One can buy just about anything with money.
Could any new arrival to this life have a say
on how things should fare in this World?.
This is the established order,
that's right, we are locked in it!.
The values we have inherited
are essential ingredients
in the human dilemma
& they are more so than ever
the dominating factors.
For the unfortunate mortality is a relief
while to the masters it is a nightmare.
Life has many paradoxes indeed.
The questions we want to ask are;
Shall we ever snap
out of the artificial values
we have established
in the name of civilization?
Is anarchy & chaos
the inevitable outcome
of any forced effort
to brake out of this deadlock?.
Can we have any real say
in the outcome of things?.
Is anyone in charge of the big picture
or are those who appear to be in charge
more concerned about their hold on power
rather than a good will to serve this Earth,
& to strive for progress, the well being of us all.
The only answer we have is;
CHANGE IS INEVITABLE!.
