Credo

A statement on the approach of an unimportant date
Disinterest would be good, but I am uninterested
I feel a lack of connection, I couldn't care less
Non-aggressive, non-participation is my gloomy goal

In personal affairs a staunch isolationist
I urge my brothers and sisters toward cooperation
So hypocrisy is on my list
If I could drop the "I"s like a Buddha
Well, let us call that a noble ambition
For now I'm stuck with moi-meme

And the "I"s are everywhere
Hunger, lust, a million monumental cravings
Fattening food for hypocrisy
A newborn is hardly a hypocrite
But neither is he restrained in the attention
He instinctively calls upon his own needs
At what point the first hypocrisy?
When he first differentiates a need and a desire
Possibly, does not let on
Perhaps even to himself

A city is a collection of petty desires
The Vatican, well they're just like the rest of us
It starts with the trading I suppose
And the loss of the relationship with the land, with nature
When we build a city, if we spare any thought for nature
Other than human, it is to hope that it will thrive elsewhere
A park is a paltry gesture, a zoo is an insult
And if we spared a thought for true human nature
Would we build cities at all?

Western neurosis is not human nature
Human nature is harmony like all other nature
Human nature is harmony like all other nature
