The Source

 
What do mothers do?
 
They invent
the species
 
within
their own
bio-labs
 
with a bit of
help
 
*
 
The mother-child
relation
 
is the moral
foundation
of human society
 

the provenance
fons et origo
of all other
moral covenants
 
whence is
the First
Social Relation
 
foundation
of all others
 

natural social
moral instinctual
all at once
 
*
 
All Life is
instinctual
 
we create society
spontaneously
like ants and bees
 
a Truth
(Euuro)Modernism
suppresses
 
the better
to engineer us
to fits its
requirements
 
this effort
will fail
 
for commanding
nature
like Canute
did the waves
 
*
 
We Return
to The Source
 
as mere
matter
of course
 
and as
ever
come and
go
 
like the
chimp and
the bonobo
