Camouflage

I don't mean to slaughter,
but to pass; definitely a bit
messed up, so what?
Would you call yourself healthy?

I can move completely freely
and calmly watch how some
complain about what I bring.

Yet I am no different than you,
power and money is what I
yearn for, peace achieved by
violence and egalitarianism
by repression. Your fears
and anger nourish me.
I'm not a walking contradiction

because I disguise myself;
an invisible, cold mirror
reflecting society.

Yes, I do pollute your reality
yet you cause me to do it,
you don't stop me.
Rather than run from me,
face it mayflies, your life
is oh so short.

Yours sincerely
dominant Zeitgeist.

**egalitarianism = a social and political philosophy asserting the equality of all men, especially in their access to the rights and privileges of their society.
