one more step forward

with the knowledge of equilibrium in mind,

knowing that someday,
everything will reach a state of equilibrium somehow
for both the good and the bad

Just a step forward, a minute one,
the path of equilibrium starts itself, with
an entire chain of subsequent ones that follow,
like black and white dominoes on the floor, up the stairs, down the hill and along with a pulley right there

you must have known...
the previous piece hits the next one,
the cycle continues regardless if the dominoes want it or not.
a blind metaphor used i know
but if dominoes have mental abilities like the higher vertebrates,
or in other words,
if it has the ability to become a life in the first place,
will it stop the cycle at its place?

like dominoes,
nature is blind,
and only has equilibrium in mind,
but equilibrium is all that it needs to uphold elegant masterpieces of balances
balances that keep the non-balanced alive
no matter where and in what state

but....
before news about the importance of this equilibrium could be found
from anywhere in or out of the present universe
the equilibrium has suffered from silent diseases that creep in on their tippy toes,
like cancer, colon cancer
or maybe Huntington's disease,
when you know it only when it signals nothing but the inevitable approach of terminal

and....
it has started,
with such a hard and heavy note,
to tumble in front of many eyes that see but not preceive,
to topple right on people at corners of the world oblivious to the heads
that look upwards to the only piece of blue sky above,
and to start the path mentioned just now,
the path to equilibrium that knocks off those surviving at the end of the chain, delicatedly deviced to adapt to the setup at initial balance

i mean...
when nature wants things to go,
i don't think it wants to turn back
it's mean and nice at the same time,
once supporting everything downstream
now taking bits and pieces away with its tail tracing behind smokes of fires and trucks of trees

maybe...
prayers will work
or emotional cries shall awaken someone,
superman?
batman?
any one who can save?

i don't know...
i'm all confused right now.
maybe the numbers aren't right,
maybe the copying machines have gone wrong,
or maybe the instruments went uncalibrated before research data is collected in massive amounts
i can curse and spit,
cry and return cursing again
but i don't know when it will be my turn dragged by that trailing tail of falling nature

i don't know...
if there's an emotion inside somewhere
that pushes everything aside
to wipe your mind and eyes
sharpen them for the most alerting news of the year

if there is,
please look

if there isn't,
i hope there's something that can make you look

look,
nature is falling
and it's falling on you.
i know it's going to hurt,
but i know there's nowhere to hide.
what are you going to do when there's nothing you can do?





from the initial setup that we have always been habituated to,
all it requires is one more step forward,
another step that can spark the igniting cannon.
and there it goes, like dominoes,
huntington's, or colon cancer.

now...
you lit it, didnt you?
i know i didn't, so it must be you!
no i didn't
no i didn't
no i didn't....
or did i?
