The World We Live In

Ayman Arik Kazi

As the constants keep changing,

The variables become our constants.

These variables, diverse as they may be,

Achieve a unique unity.

And this unity’s uniqueness,

Makes it yet another variable.

Stability is so fragile that

Fragility is the only stable norm.

This world is ruled by such fragile stability

That even the slightest intelligence can render it broken.

And we, the intelligent, are so ignorant

That we prefer bliss to knowledge.

And this bliss distracts us from aiming higher,

As satisfaction fails to satisfy us.

For we are beings of endless hunger.

This greed divides us.

Because of this division, we are kept from ruling this world.

We have become too preoccupied by enemies that we ourselves have created.

Enemies that have sprung from divided friendships.

We find ourselves at an impasse.

We wish for uniqueness AND unity.

However, we have yet to recognize that unity and uniqueness cannot coexist.

Unity can only survive with sameness.

And embracing sameness means that we abandon identity.

If we achieve this unity,

We will find ourselves in a world where identity is extinct,

Where sameness is the rule,

And where unity is more important than diversity.

If we achieve this unity,

We are left with only the constants.

Which, if you remember, never existed to begin with.
