To Whom It May Concern

    "Even before they get to know you
    your grave
    is already dug
    but not even
    for whom you are
    but
    for whom
    they assume
    you
    could be."

    Two primary psychological defenses:
    Denial
    Projection
    Both are evident in that lament

    And what are we?
    But flesh and bones
    Meant to turn to dust

    no matter
    How much they assume
    what we could be...

    their assumption
    might just end up
    being
    what we are:

    future dirt
    to fill a hole

    Though,

    How sad it is
    that dirt
    seems to be of no worth

    when we ourselves
    will be one day

    But even sadder
    To think
    that their assumption
    Of who we are
    Is that of
    What we could
    be

    Just dirt.

    Would the consequence
    of thought
    become the influence
    sought
    by the influence
    of thought
    not connecting the consequence
    sought
    with naught?

    In order to expand
    you have to lose your clarity!!

    This scrap of dirt
    this portion of earth
    belongs to me;
    I am he who owns,
    for I have lost my place,
    my piece of space
    in THE promise land;
    so I claim your land.
    I am as much a Zionist
    as I've lost my way
    to THE Zion!!

    Only a pessimist
    would make this statement
    for
    the optimist would think...
    I have lost a small piece of me
    but in the process I have gained
    so much more...

    Zionist? That's just a dream,
    maybe a splash of idealism but
    realistically...it's not going to happen.

    Now...that's clarity.
