Sometimes

we fall in love with ideas

Not people

we wrap ourselves in the magic of

Isms

Conservatism

imposing the past on the future

Progressivism

slaying the past to save us in the

Future

Nihilism

nothing matters; meaning is chosen

Spiritualism

we are all connected by various

Energies

Socialism

everyone shares to stay fed

Capitalism

everyone should be rich or simply

Dead

Communism

that college freshman can’t define

Anarchism

that we lived in at the beginning of

Time

Patriotism

our citizenship is a mark of pride

Buddhism

we end all suffering saying no to

Wanting

Individualism

i am me and you are you

Collectivism

you and me are we; a partnership of

Two

Losing

our basic humanity to the chief evil

Extremism

let’s fall in love with the best thing

People
