One Biz Eth Plus Many High Eths Can Unite the World (Synthesis)

Biz eth is conducive to growth and scale,

High eth self-subverts with size, becomes fake,

Big state, global high eth is doomed to fail,

Done right, universal biz eth can take.


Biz eth is not for Himalayan heights,

High eth is made for the ethical peak,

Biz eth does better in countering blights,

It's not best for the saintly, the unique.


High eth is part of our evolution,

It's baked into us, just as biz eth is,

We need both for a global solution,

Otherwise the world is flat, without fizz.


Let biz eth keep us from ethical doom,

Let many lotuses of high eth bloom.

Hoboken with Martha and Robin

       Darcy and I lived on the second floor, Martha and Robin's place was on the top, The Caniglias were by the front door, The apartment was old.   Things were alop. Is there such a thing as a hidden saint? A beacon of goodness in a fallen world?   Well maybe there is and maybe there ain't. I think Martha was a goddess kept furled. ⁹ We moved to Newark, to the back of beyond, Darcy and I gave up our New York dreams, Martha helped lift us up from our despond9, Painted our new bedroom in tans and creams. Do I wish I could go back to change time? No!  Martha, your life is a perfect rhyme.

The Gandhi Ashram

The Gandhi ashram's closed for Ashura. Lizzy's on the street in heels, looking smart. Off to Gulberg, she says, For our tour--a        tour of humanity's evil heart. Ghodse killed Gandhi.  That can't be undone. Godra, Gulberg.  You can't prevent either. But you can shoot Ghodse with his own gun. Burn both sets of arsonists.  Spare neither! Yes, there are fine, fine people on both sides. An eye for an eye makes the world go blind. On Heaven's throne, love not anger presides. In Heaven kind sayings rule the mind. But this is Hell and we, too, are God's plan. Let us punish wrong as hard as we can. [7-18-24--Ahmedabad, at the second Gandhi ashram]

Sati

Suttee comes from Sati, Shiva's wife. She cursed her father and leapt into flame. Did she err, Lizzie, in ending her life? Could she have done better in Hell's dark game?   I think that she did as well as she could. Shiva in rage cut off her father's head. What she could not do, her husband did. He danced with her body when she was dead. Remember punishment is not magic. Hell is mixed, but it, too, is comedy. Nothing in the end is truly tragic. With God, All is a Divine dramedy. We cannot conjure up dragons and towers. Better to burn than to debase our powers. [7-18-24--flight to Kochi--drawn from a book bought in the Ahmedabad airport: Mahagatha: 100 Tales from the Puranas, by Satyarth Nayak]
