b88 (3.22-2.2020): the best that we can do

the best that we can do ^[1]          
by al l. living & t. hings
 
molecules, emotion
complex dna
genetic codes and instincts: hell, we were just born this way
 
and then our body-mind computer interacts with things
and we play-out a pre-recorded movie that life brings
 
and even though it looks like choice (in every me and you)
in every living thing (doing)
the best that we can do

·        yes. even the evil politician and the dirty lobbyist,
·        yes. even the thief, as he pulls the murder-trigger,
·        yes. the cheetah, ravaging the infant zebra,
·        yes. the liar, the infidel, the enemy, the criminal,
·        yes. the invasive plant, and the hummingbird, and the termite,
·        yes. the every-single atom of every-single thing that wakes-up into life, seeks survival/thrival, and does whatever it does (in every-living-moment) to feel better.
 
…but…
 
while ‘choice’ may well be an illusion, and while every, living thing is doing the best that it can do in every moment, that doesn’t mean that we have to allow it.  we can counter-move.  we can fight the spread of cancer.
