Contest Of Aggressive Will

Contest Of Aggressive Will

Every human I meet on road of life
is bundled passion of material atoms,
teeming with vibrant desire to consume
nutritious food we harvest from the world
then replicate their bodies in new forms
to transcend finite limitations of death.

We either clash in conflict of desire
for limited resources to consume,
or we cooperate to produce more food
so everyone can eat at feast of friends
where we maneuver in strange social games
over who will copulate to breed children.

We navigate around each other, careful
to take what we want while preserving life
so everyone is happy in our game
till conventions of daily ritual habits
harden into laws of strict social roles
that we preserve in tales of archetypes.

Some accept roles others define for them
in political games of play-control,
while others define role they want to play
and defend their status in social game
through aggressive expression of strong words
that declare right to exercise free will.

We let others define our role for us
or we define our role we want to play
in constant contest of aggressive will
to enforce our word as law they obey
through delicate dance of contesting wills
till someone kills someone to get their way.

I want to live in peaceful harmony
with everyone in social game we play,
avoiding clash of wills that causes death,
for I want to live with force of free will
while allowing others to live their way,
but people will clash and fight to the death.

Though in the end every person will die
yet those who reproduce new children will
succeed in winning this game after death,
so some decide that they will kill and rape
to dominate life through aggressive lust,
while others believe in life after death.

How can we design better social system
that allows every person to live well
while managing conflict of rival wills
where each will attain what they desire most
so everyone can live in harmony
till the sun swallows our world in hot flames?

I sit in glowing sunlight on lone hill
to gaze at shimmer of the sparkling sea
while letting all aggressive lust of will
flow unexpressed from tension of my soul
till I sit empty of contesting hope
in soft indifferent wind of spiritual love.

People form groups to follow the strong leader
as religions or political parties
to work together in aggressive gangs
so they enforce desire of their life-way
to expand empire of resource control
in life mission dreamed by their founding god.

While I admire the visions of their hopes,
I reject all gods worshipped by religions
for they are dead, though their spirits live on
in aggressive missions of followers,
so I disengage from all social games
and sit alone in haven of my heart.

Avoiding contest of aggressive will,
I become first god of my own religion,
defining role I play in game of life
to follow my own dream of happiness,
composing scripture of my private quest
to transform waste land to my paradise.
