that which elude

understanding

by Roberto Lavidez

how do

you rescue

human beings

from despair

you write

and no one

reads you

you talk

and no one

listens

every sigh so

impenetrable

to human

thought

every word

so pitiless

to human

weakness

every sign

every glance

subject to

the continual

alteration of

becoming

and decay

pages

had been

thumbed

into a state

of extremely

dirty softness

to understand

things

that elude

understanding

it would be

both impossible

to pierce and

presumptuous

to question

exploiting

the position

of the

mischievous

pawn

threatened

by the

horrid castle

bound to

prevent any

understanding

being

reached

the emergence

of evil

will always

come as

unexpected

rising from

a flood

of mistrust

and hatred

it is not

god who

created us

but we

who invented

god

in the

repudiation

of all

idolatry

of the flesh

looking

at the image

of its own

tenebrous and

passionate

soul

every other

basis is

a sort of

sentimental

confusion

buried in

the mould

of primeval

earth

anything is

better than

chaos or

amnesia

the

terrible

necessity

of peace

and the

terrible

probability

of war

the world is

and is

what it is
