Gravity

Jose Zuniga
The free mind thinks like the greedy mind, in that it keeps wanting something to be free for. First, it was the women. Then, it was the land. Then, it was the gold gathered from the land followed by a "wanting" for sunglasses so as not to be hurt by the "shiny" gold. It then protested for less work for the rich and more work for the poor. It then protested for peace (but all the wars were created by it, so the protest went unheard. How does one protest to oneself?) It then had the audacity, the outright tenacity, to ask for just one thing.


After all the sacrifices that one God (and many generations of people) had done for the free mind, its greed became so sedated, so tempted by one thing, so un-distracted by everything it was offered that it had before all of this. It wanted love (not to love) and this wasn't covered in anything that it had wanted before because it did not only want love from its woman or its man, the mind was greedy for it, it wanted to be loved by everyone, the greedy, greedy bastard!

The big mess it then made with the land, its people, its gold, its women (and some women that loved women and men that loved men), is what some call "gravity." The "gravity" of situations was what the mind put together as the result of its greed for love and how it dealt with it. So many generations of people died for the love (not dedication) of something that isn't even real (in today's society) that the gravity of everything has to be reconsidered. You can't remove love from the mind, my friends, but maybe, just maybe you can remove its stupid and unnecessary greed for it. To be loved is one thing; to love so foolishly that it converts to addiction is an insult to people and a conversion from the "seriousness" of a situation to the "gravity" of a situation.

Because everyone in space knows you're not in trouble until gravity gets in the way.
