Survival

To save the population one must destroy individual creation

Freedom as today seen, will then become obscene

Refining the individual, peaceful populace the residual

Then the strong will become weak as survival we seek

What is wrong will become right, in our evolutionary fight

Values must reverse in a unified universe

schools of thought collide, Soren. we choose ;) pretty relevant prose my friend ... the rhythm is smooth, says i ... today in the USA this clash seems always at the fore ... lines of personal freedom ... lines of the greater good for the majority ... it there a real and immutable truth to be found for those who seek it with a true heart ... or what i call subjective relativism ... which basically states there is no truth ... it's what "I" say it is and it's only for me ... therein is the chaos and confusion which, in my opinion is not "evolutionary" progress but historical repeated mistakes .. it can all fall down around us making mere survival the only apparent goal for all. pity eh!? wonderful thought provoking write my friend ... and it's not even 5 AM yet ;) love and joy on ya!

Thank you so much Einstein for the review and understanding words. It seems mathematical to me. As population grows freedoms diminish with space being a determining factor. The more people in a limited space the more laws needed to govern. In order to survive as a species we must flip the values from the individual to the hive and like the bee survival of the hive overrides the needs of the individual. I am going to check your writing which I sadly miss

thanks Soren .. yes ... a balance certainly needs to be struck ... with wisdom and honesty .. i guess, thinking on it just now ... i probably lean towards the individual more than not; but we all have to pitch in to make society safe and as fair as possible in a free society .. balance says i! ;)

A thought-provoking piece, Soren. I like how you explore the tension between individuality and collective survival. The reversal of values and power dynamics really makes the reader question what freedom and strength truly mean.
