Deep-rooted,
the Need to see
Dirt in the Other
engaging in condemnation
appears to clear the Self
like a shower to our shadow
*
the vigorous Cleanse
however,
comes Smeared with
a most disturbing shade
of sanctimoniousness
(The price, Surely, of Sight
in Black and White Only)
*
It’s in the Softening
of our Vision
the edges merge, a gray Depth
rises from the picture’s
Perspective
*
Righteousness however
seldom Softens,
it hounds with indignant Piety
more vehemently
as if trying to strip
a layer of Skin
remove the darkness it disavows
the disturbing Reality
that there are not always definitive answers
in our ever-changing World
where so much remains the Same

Beautiful! <3
How very true, Kiki.
Incredibly powerful. I love this.
Thank You dear, generous , Kiki
So sad, yet so true — our increasingly polarized world of right/wrong, black/white is overshadowing the yin/yang symbol of acceptance and duality as part of a greater wholeness.You illuminate the human soul’s need for nuance and softness with amazing alliterations. Beautiful….
