Today, I need to repost yesterday's article inspired by W. H. Auden because the milestone verse,
"..We are lived by powers we pretend to understand:..."
seemed to require some extra words, as the rather restless night proved. So here it goes:
<< "..We are lived by powers we pretend to understand:..."
Ruthless powers we now know brutally
hijack our DNA our History
Infectious powers we know mercilessly
vandalize our lives
Skillful powers disguised in boulders of guilt perpetually aching our stomach... >>

Oh!The magnificent Unselfish Bravery, the Power of Truth inherent
in the Arts, in Poetry, in Philosophy...!They perceive, they feel, they discern, they know!
The
Creators themselves are not all and not always fully aware of the
ultimate, brilliant, materialized outcome of their own labour. History
and next generations come and laurel-wreath crown them, regardless of
their tragic or not so very tragic fate, flaws, inflicted pains,
challenges...
Poor SCIENCE comes
running behind the Arts, eating polluted dust, distorting facts and
events as mastered by military-industrial-Pharma complexes, compromised
by fear, by corruption, by stupidity, by suppressed, subdued intellect.
How tragic is the bitter resoluteness in this W.H.Auden's verse sited below!
"..We are lived by powers we pretend to understand:..."
He
profoundly comprehends that there are other 'powers' enslaving his
day, his love, his body, his sickness; manipulating his decisions,
malevolently interfering with his feelings, playing dirty games of pain
and hatred trickery in his every day...
Did
he know about the Matrix, the Powers That Be, the Agenda
2020-2030...?What about the AI running our world and how many AI' s are
there... ? Back then in the distant 1939 A.D?
And what about the final phrases:
"...but existing is believing.We know for whom we mourn and who is grieving."
What greater affirmation, respect and love for Life, can one expect!"Existing is believing" and that's It!
Despite all enslaving, manipulating, sick programming, malicious handling of the humans, his fellow-humans and himself "living on the earth"...!
Despite
all, Courage, Self Respect, Noble Dignity, Perseverance, Steadfastness,
Un-subjugated Soul, Spirit and Mind are there to hold the Fortress
till the day Liberation comes!
Till the day the shackles get smashed into pieces!
Till
the day We, Ourselves, in Self-Knowledge, Consciousness, Free Will and
Freedom of Choice, Live our Lives in Truth and Peace!
No need whatsoever for any kind of helpless "pretending" any more...!
What a Major Contemporary Poet W. H. Auden is!
Maria L. Pelekanaki
"... We are lived by powers we pretend to understand:
They arrange our loves; it is they who direct at the end
The enemy bullet, the sickness, or even our hand
W. H. Auden
