Greed leads


Commonly now about
Opposition, it long ago
Meant
People striving together;
Elastic, organic  
The language has been, so
Is it not possible
To change it again?
Is all this vying imperative? Is this
Our final
Narrative?


I wrote this one with yesterday’s word, and the article I cited, in mind. The word itself is an expansive continuum, from innocent children’s games to world powers fighting over territories. We can change our individual sense of competition. Challenge is a good thing, but do we want it to infuse our nature with greed and hatred?
