New poem: "No Moral Order to the Universe"

 

No Moral Order to the Universe

 

It’s an abomination, Nietzsche’s proclamation

that God is dead, damning all consequences

that opened the floodgates to hell, wilfully

declaring that everything is possible. That’s

what we’re witnessing today as the Democratic

left and Republican right go to the polls to elect

a new president; and never in the entire history

of American politics have lies, deception, guile,

and craven dishonesty played a more devastating

role, and all because the radical left and biased

media are behaving as if God is dead and there’s

no moral order to the Universe. “Tell it unveiled,

the naked truth! The declaration’s better

than the secret,” said Rumi.
