In a devolving society,
huddling in the false
security
of tribalism,
Chaos theory reigns
supreme.
Never knowing
whence the next surprise,
outrage,
catastrophe
may occur,
we draw the circle of wagons
tighter.
Any societal beaux gestes
are nullified
by increasing carnage,
both personal
and tribal.
Kantian apologists all,
we are hampered,
we are enchained
by the unknowable.
Hegel, however,
frees us,
and establishes
the dystopian boundary
towards which
our species rolls,
like excrement
down a hill.
In defining limits
to the knowable,
a leap can be made,
that we may now glory
in a brave
and liberating
perspective,
that dictates
what we
must be.
