the zero-sum

we are a zero-sum species.

fighting for gain

but at a loss by outcome.

the zeal for never enough.

the vast, 

yet, only for observational purposes.

the inquiry, 

steadfast.

the answers, 

in temporality's return.

we boast,

what the planet endures.

we created the humdrum of incessancy.

nature still has seasons 

and climate as moods.

we have time, 

as meaningful.

nature has this moment's presence, 

as expression.

we have now, 

as a police lineup looking for cause,

while having meaningful, 

as solutions gained.

observation is only accusational

yet we are in the prison,

while nature will always and eventually 

run free.

zero-sum is the posture of dualistic thinking

when herded into its conclusionary pen 

of existence.

zero-sum is a morality concept,

hiding out as mountainous perspective, gained.

oh for the battles, 

that perception is used, 

to engage . . .
