Stopgap
Permanently living
In stopgap measures
No plans
For the unplanned
Let alone the planned
Simply winging it
By the seat of our pants
Collectively flying solo
In a broken plane
Careening towards
The abyss
Before rushing
Headlong slowly
Towards the
Implacable
Wall of death
When or where
Neither karma
Nor reincarnation
Offer assistance
Giving the soul
No authority to
Venture into
New territory
Wasting an
Infinite birthright
More times
Than you can count
Travestied by
The burdensome
Amount of shame
We conceal and carry
Of our fellow
Space travellers
Identified as separate
From the whole by
Godless categories
Epidermis
Wealth
Indoctrinated beliefs
Geography
Hats and flags
Following
Blind guides
Eternally
Turning a
Deaf ear
To our
Internal voice
That tells us
There is no gap
Between
UsThem
Therefore
We must stop
Before it is too late
