Analysis of Nexus Point



The primal forces gather,
each to their own,
in preparation
for the final confrontation.
The momentum,
building in cycles as old
as the planet itself,
approaches critical,
yet we still fail
to even notice.
Absorbed by ourselves,
crowded deep into our egos,
we search for answers,
missing the point,
that, after all,
we simply
must love
to erase hate.
