Chicken or the Egg? (November, 2025)

Facing the specter of violence

Many fear revolution.

Escaping judgement

Status quo violence receives absolution.

Realizing the impotence of the state,

How can change be gradual?

Is it revolutionary action

If it remains in the realm of reaction?

Piecemeal disjointed strategies

Are doomed automatically.

As a believer in spontaneity

We may have to accept our puny

Condition as a pebble

And content ourselves to the ripples

We may effect by

Skipping into the ocean.

As we rock

To the rhythm of the tide,

Let us take stock.

Time is on our side.

Yes, it is.
