Relativity
Mine is a theory all my own bearing no
resemblance whatever to those of a great
mind like Einstein's in physics though I
have named mine like his relativity.
Everything, in fact, in a human dimension
from personal suffering to world-shattering
events and the ripples they cause beyond
the locus of their occurrence can be
relatively construed. I feel as an example
desolate that my vote will conclude as an
exercise in hope gone astray since my
fellow citizens felt in the majority otherwise
in their absent wisdom laying that proverbial
red carpet for the return of the most shallow
egotistical, mismanaging politician the
country we share has ever been locked into
in reflection of a values culture so unlike
my own. Simultaneously the Amazon is
on fire, the Turkish military has been given
free reign to annihilate an ancient, noble
tribe which set an example of fortitude and
courage in a world where viral religious
sectarianism has set fire of another kind to
humanity. In my world of relativity I feel
shattered by news from abroad I am helpless
to respond to while angered by another
situation where my response is meaningless.
