Call It Flight
slow as quick sand
fickle as mercury
never-ending and eternal
as any solar diamond
radiating warmth
pluck pluck pluck
major chords
tattoo beats
underscored by minor
fleeting moments
fling, frolic, and dally
drop drop drop
we will all fall
inevitably
struggle against
the plunge
or enjoy the ride
call it flight
trust there is no bottom
I am just an ordinary person, but If it were me, and I was involved in banking or investment firms ... I might start getting worried too. When you push for control and feed off corruption, it does eventually come to nibble at you. It's a false paradigm; collectivism versus individualism. You can't serve one without serving the other and you can't harm one without the harming the other. You enrich your personal power by enriching those of others.
You enrich the collective by empowering the individual. But if you are obsessed with numbers and ownership of those numbers, you will never truly reach personal power. Let the people be free because that includes you. Potential exists in freedom and not control.
Give to the world what you want from yourself; follow what Christians call the golden rule. This how we create our karma because your world does indeed follow your lead both through thought and deed.

The material world
Is the mirror to the Tao
All reflections are shallow
Lacking in substance
In comparison to what casts it
Yet the reflection does not know this
It behaves as though it is the source
Unaware and unknowingly
There is no reflection
Without the source
There is no mirror
Without the builder
The Tao is both builder and source
To the mirror …
Immeasurable
Ungraspable
Timeless
Radiant
Do not measure
Do not grasp
Understand eternity
Shed the mask of the internal foe
Reflect radiance

I like to tell my children "If it's good for Corporate America, then it's good for you too." They understand full well what I mean.
Dramatic irony, that is.
