DRUNKEN LOVE
Have you seen Interstellar? The one where
Matthew McConaughey’s drawl screams Texas
though he’s a farmer deep in the West He plays
Cooper the astronaut still in love with his dead wife
Up in space the scientists debate the biological imperative
behind: loving the departed
Clearly love is the glue that holds the human tribe together
Without it there would be no civilization Without it there
would be no hate Not love’s opposite but a variant on the
continuum of human emotion The dead hold us in their thrall
Where are they after all? A place where our after-life family is
making a go of eternity while back on Earth we worship the dead
with a kind of idolatry
Yesterday someone asked me: Isn’t love the root of all enmity misery
treachery? One might even place acts of revenge in this same category
Just this week the head of Cairo’s thousand year old Al Azar Institute called
for those who burned a young pilot alive in a cage in a well staged media
circus to be: killed or crucified or have their hands +legs cut off
Why live for anything else? Our masterpiece is LOVE
In the early days of the 21st Century love grows tired Even Beyonce makes no
bones about the SM dimensions love can take whipping Jay Z into a near frenzy
in front of millions of Grammy viewers last night on tv

*Burning someone alive is prohibited as a punishment that belongs to God alone,
applied in hell, while beheadings on the other hand have a long history among
many of humanity’s religions. (Globe&Mail February 5, 2015)
