There is no "good" or "bad". - let's go to inflict good on them* - All are the same, mental mud. - let's go ... - An evil hand and a friendly one Grip a similar gun. - let's go ... - Then "good" and "bad" are natural disaster. - and let what will be will be -
* - used my piece "The very short sermon"

“let's go to inflict good on them*” – I remember that line and the poem. I like them This one is a bit wonky in its wording and concept. Good and evil are man made concepts and therefore purely man’s curse and have nothing to do with higher awareness or realms. An argument could be made that we are a natural disaster though. LOL As manmade concepts we are quite capable of committing them as defined within our own worlds. I think most would agree that groups like ISIL are quite evil. And most would agree that Gandhi and Mother Teresa are examples of good. Even so I think there is a lot of truth in these lines; “An evil hand and a friendly one Grip a similar gun.” The difference is the pull of the trigger.(Intent) L1 – “There are no "good" or "bad".” – This should read; “There is no “good” or “bad.” L9 – “- let will be will be –“ – It’s wonky English but I’m not sure I really think it should be changed. “What will be, will be,” comes to mind but is perhaps more cliché than you want. I do think the comma would help though. You are always thought provoking my friend. Thanks for sharing.

i have offen thought that in some ways there is no such thing as good or bad, only consequences of our actions..an if we can live with them or not but i also think that there are rights an wrongs that are so inherantly human no one needs to teach or learn them, like dont f*ck your brother, dont f*ck kids, murder, rape etc etc

Hi, friends! Thank you for very interesting comments! Bad. Good. If one was born in a cannibal tribe ... If one was a pharaoh in ancient Egypt - he married on his sisters and even his own daughters were his lovers ... In the beginning of the second millennium mongols (and not only they) f-ck children in captured cities and kill all ... Genocides in 20th century ... Atrocity that commits right now in different places of Earth ... Bad and good depends on something else, not on our current notions only. Circumstances made from people animals and saints. But mostly animals. Slow, very slow bad drifts to good as we consider it. That's why the "Optimistic forecast" is as optimistically black as it can be. God's realm will come! Really? Best regards, friends!

Profound tom me this idea that this poem calls into question. That regardless of our intentions we will need to accept the mudslide like disaster of our actions and let what will be - be.
