Mankind-Abstraction

By Roberto Lavidez

an evil 
abstraction
must be fought
and rooted out
from the dungeons
of a screaming mind
social inequality
and injustice
a class structure
abstraction
kept together
by continual wars
and plundering
expeditions
have sunk deeply
a mosaic abstraction
of ancient concepts
into the consciousness
of little men clinging
to little jobs in the fields
as big men judge the
value of way of life
underlying
socio-historical
conditions
tolerated magic
of abstraction
as a means of
taming the masses
sprawling networks of
outrageously intricate
creatures of abstraction
welding together
a collection of humans
by a common belief
a compulsion to fix
the real world
abstraction
encouraging beasts
to tear each other
limb from limb
reducing its
opponents
to caricatures
summing up
thinking
feeling
and willing
as abstraction
rousing permanent
anger by dogmatic
language of abstraction
abolishing existing
uniformities of slavery
subjection and poverty
the first stumbling
block of abstraction
where all the
breaking down
and reassembling
acquires a quantum
of mastery over things
dooming mankind
to looming
end of all
abstraction
