A Poem Written Three Weeks Before Ukraine was Invaded

Does the egregore stir up the war? 

Angels, demons, egregore -- who with whom is at war?

What is knocking at the door?

Meaning crisis, what's this all for?

Who is for us? Who is above?

What if their Name is Love?

Would it matter, do you care

Now that war is in the air?

Will we bend or will we break,

Bow the knee, eat our cake?

Is it too late to change our fate

Was our screen time as bad as hate?

God have mercy, where can we turn

Before our cities start to burn?

To go up, must we go down?

There is no more getting out of town. 

The  End


*Egregore Meaning:

                   Ancient: fallen angels

                    Old Greek: watchers

                    French: "spirit of a group"

                    New Testament: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against

                                                  the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, 

                                                  against the spiritual forces of evil..."
