Buckminster Fuller and the Cave

A Door's outline of light intensifies 
As the darkness it faces
Increases, with each new experience
That is innocent.
Pure and important.

It will mean more,
If we have seen less.

The Door hides this light,
which isn't as intense, isn't as profound
When the Door opens, when the room 
becomes semi-lit

But without polarity, The Door
would be lost to the darkness,
lost without a frame,
An existence of darkness,

Social Darwinism and Conservatism 
And Thomas Malthus
Equate to extremes, woes, chance
And Good and Bad.

An in and out, a right and wrong.

Can we live in a room which is Dark?
Can we live in a room where we don't know where the Door is?

Can our existence be determined

Determined by something other than Fear?
