["The Schumpeterians have all along gloried in capitalism's endless creativity while treating the destructiveness as mostly a matter of the normal costs of doing business." - Social Geographer David Harvey on Creative Destruction]
[Lk 15:22-23]


Ebb and flow,
The places of man,
A limited span
In form and presence.

    ~

Expansion, contraction,
Arriving, birthing,
Leaving, dying,
All wind in the grass.

    ~

The forgotten remembered,
It, for its nature,
Them, removable fixtures,
Renew for me, not thee.

     ~

Use artist and chef,
Lease till comes its rise

Instruments to cleanse
Out them, unwanted others.

    ~

The price in lives...
Who shall pay?
But Lazararus shall have his day
In the final court.

- Gerald Alan Ney
