POETRY - PHILOSOPICAL


White Coat

The white coat, a symbol or excuse for detached analytical study,
In the name of pure science, in true jocular Mengele style.
Strange that in this instance, white really signals grey,
A non-descript, colourless, non-committal, cerebral non-emotive,
In control, omniscient, atheistic blunderer, without ancestral respect
For the ancient knowledge, of our forebears & the path of wisdom.
Focused specialized study & research, without a Platonic overview,
Is to have Pandora’s box, unlocked by a curious & empowered child
Of consciousness, intellect & responsibility, whose attitude of callousness,
Is engendered by double think duplicitous illusion, beyond karmic responsibility.
