The Logic of Political Evolution's Two-Degree Dialectic (poetry)

Structural traces remain in words like froth

on the rim of opportunities lost

when the city built over the green land

of wilderness packaged literal shadows

of tomorrow's yin yang ideas

fought in the war over political prisoners

contesting methods for delivering more product

resources consumable and with disposable debt

given cardboard hamburger filler yet

When the dialectic of political evolution ignores

358 degrees of other directions

when observation sentences are supplanted

propositions of historical theories stitched together

abstractions of loyal percentages

specialists arguing for truth-values in language

might have known if the light had been better

if empty continents without electronics

had the same political philosophy of right

as Venn diagrams of Eurasian states

alliances of social class kaleidoscopes

viewed objectively in existentialist percepts

rushed without adequate political philosophy

with declining resources, independence and truth

without moderating toward process utopia arranged like apparitions of hope and change

With the guidance of Christ to endure

through the secular,

through rampant decay

a shining smoldering ruined civilization on a hill

transformed mass conformity

into egalitarianism of ashes

in entropy's stable state

become one answer to the puzzle of how

evolution continued in the loss of individualism

with reform of capitalism.
