Politics
Politics should be like Zen Buddhism,
it’s better when it’s not there.
An open hand, a closed fist.
We can’t go anywhere without the demons
of persuasion breathing down our necks.
Politics is like art, sometimes interesting, sometimes crude,
open to multiple interpretations.
How do we combine philosophy and purpose
to better the lives of everyone?
Do we drown in our good intentions
or follow the beat of the sound most comfortable to our ears?
The future is waiting to be created.
