Poetry Revolution

We each can become poetic specialists in our own (forms of) life.
One of Limited Fork's poetic principles is turning instability into a new (more expansive) reality; instability turns into a temporary stability, to build upon and turn negative situations into opportunities for positive growth. Currently, my work integrates an understanding of music, martial arts, word-craft, and biological (neuro) psychology. Each slice of reality supplements (not detracts or isolates from) the other vantages of existence.

When I first met professor Moss and learned that she invented her own form of poetry (Limited Fork Poetics), I thought "how can she invent her own form"..."who gave her, above others, that privilege?"..."how did she get that power"? Then, I thought about the sentence itself...she invents her own form of poetry, and light dawned upon me. When she saw the light (to "invent" her own form of poetry), at that moment she wasn't blinded by edicted false realities. She empowered herself to see life more accurately; this wasn't pretentious at all; hopefully, all poets invent their own form of poetry (otherwise they are acting as plagiarists, or parrots, not poets). Likewise, hopefully, all people invent (find/actualize) their own form of life.

If people read or hear my integrative poetry and view it as "elitist" (as I have previously been labeled), then great, show the world your unique integrations. We can all be elite at actualizing ourselves (put everything together, that makes you, you!). I'm not the only one with a unique point of view; everyone lives a unique existence, so we all have unique vantages to add to the larger picture (a more accurate view of larger realities). Each individual's unique existence amalgamates to form a more complete view of reality. We all see realities that are blind to everyone else; each person can actualize there own "form" to uniquely express their unique vantages, to offer a vantage of expression that no one else can offer. In actualizing reality, we each become experts and specialist, in poetically living our own lives.

To actualize our own reality, we each must invent, discern, find our own form of life; not accept a false form (mold) of a life that is mandated to us by people who want more control (and thus more power) for themselves. False social promises edict that we either blindly sacrifice ourselves or go the other way and steal from fellow people to gratify ourselves and our network of extensions. As these actions ultimately steal from both the individual and larger amalgamate (social) levels of reality, these actions perpetuate entropy at every social level of existence.

Instead,

Live to become a (good) better individual (expressed endogenously, thoughts and actions change us all through the process of neural plasticity), who can, in turn, help more people, to create greater micro and macroscopic realities.

Have a great day,
