JOSEPH OBVIOUS, STOPPED

$

Joseph Obvious was stopped by the thought
that the good---to be truly good---
makes all that's bad unhappy,
the bad hunger, the bad satisfaction, the bad jealousy,
and that good cannot really be good
unless it love the bad
while keeping what makes it good under wraps,
like tiny travelers hiding world maps,
or us beating enemies because of secret spies
tripping up the terrified with terrifying lies
neither good nor bad can detect.
Your morality is defeated by a secret.

Joseph was good. But lived with the bad.
This paradox made him sad.
Joseph knew simplicity was the way.
Simplicity, the only way eternity will stay.
The bracing simple, obvious, truths
are the ones which hide the best.
The good is good. Pity the rest.
Sara Subtlety warned you, Joseph, in so many ways.
For these good reasons, the bad thing will be done---
not by you, not for you, but by those who own the sun,
the conspirators, who find, in the many, one.
We are going to do this, today.
You better get out of our way.
The children, over here.
The men, here. Some men with others.
The conspirators' profit and gain
will drive the rest insane.
They make sure this is how it will be.
Joseph, tell them. With my poetry.
