(Emerson, 1850's: "Things are in the saddle, and ride mankind.")
Civilization men bow to thrones --of riches, Gods, and nations;
to artificial leadership, commerce, industry, media, celebrations;
march in columns, to mortgage Human-Earth naturality;
march to regiment and mechanize an automaticality of artificiality;
to make digits, virtuals, cybers, spectacles of language, ritual, and sociality;
Pull the strings of Youth's Heart,
chart the roads and dreams of Child's Soul
out of Living Nature into artificial [art-offic(e)ial] art,
into artificial lifeways of the heart.
The Sacred in Earth-life and her Human soul,
proven through Ages old,
is tokenized, in school, religion, law, science, art;
then, for base desire, sold.

Birth of Writing
Writing emerged in order
To decree, to sanction as official, an emergent, human disorder,
To rationalize slavery, oppression, division of life and labor;
To proclaim ego's magestic rule of, by and for,
A contrived divinity that royalty, supposedly, hath.
Writing (here now eco-candidly), studies and rationalizes
All departures from Earth and Human Nature, all pains, hoaxful disguises
Emergent in the swollen, human portion, our hindquarter:
Writes, makes book of, city's templed, soldered order--
Of blossomed, but fruitless, arrogant, human ass.
