I need to somehow escape desire
Gratitude is incompatible
With consumerism's bright fire
(I don't think this debatable)

We have created an addict culture
Hooked on petrochemical ease
Where only the rich have any future
(Current modernity's only sleaze)

Existence is full of torment
I am, although, indistinguishable
Present in my life at this sad moment
(Ashamed I was once incorrigible)

So, I do my functions quotidian
Grading, writing, reading, & preparing
For future classes that are yet to come
Day's illumination not yet daring

Sadly some uncharitability
Has metastasized within my spirit
Protecting vulnerability
(My faith refuses to hear it)

My classroom became a seance instead
Where I am communicating across
The thin line between the quick & the dead?
(It is easy to forget who is boss)

I wonder if I'll ever get over
The obnoxious need to be understood
By people who others' freedom smother?
(Maybe if I surrender I could)
