scapegoat
Musicality
left
Brain's complexity
Needs reality
Listen to the universal orchestra
Your own body plays
The first violin
Or
Better
The second
The second the first the moment the jest ....
One..two..brain..four
Where to? Where from?
One..brain..three..four
What for? What for?
Brain's the brainsore of the brainscape
Iterates and can't escape
Must be guilty, if a scapegoat
Then of whom? Of no one.
Of reality. Of complexity.
Can't escape.

tigerjenabout 13 years agoI don't see how the descriptions relate to Yom Kippur, which is one of the holiest/solemn days in the Jewish calendar.....would be helpful if you explained.....thank you....
KOLKOREabout 16 years agoMust have dosed off a little in Sunday school... Actually there is not much of a connection between 'guilt' and 'scapegoating', at least not in Judaism (Yom Kippur or not). What you do - you account for ...it's between you and your conscience (that's the hardest IMHO).Those who are lucky and believe in 'something above' have to account the same but with higher authorities (that's easier for them IMHO)... <P>
All the nasty stuff we do to each other -actions words etc. even Jesus (just kidding!) can't help you, I mean, no god no prayer could help you just go and ask forgiveness from the source, those who you actually hurt. No short cuts or easy way outs. Ask me, it’s the OPPOSITE of scapegoating. I know it's tough to be responsible.
I know it's a poem (and of course yours...) but the name of the poem is a cultural (at least) icon. I enjoyed the original use of the musical imagery.
p.s. There was actually a scape GOAT, a real one - but that was more than 2000 years ago...
