Break the Wheel

Art by me.

Cycles.
Cycles turn the wheel in a never-ending succession of agony and exploitation.
Time and time again,
The cycles repeat the same thing over and over and over.
They are cycles, that's all they can do.

They are easily tricked into thinking of transfiguration as change.
The ones that see the veil and attempt to break the wheel bear no fruit.
For the majority of the cycles are content to continue the eternal turning.

Birth, suffering, death.
Awareness, education, activism, change.
Cainophobia, regression.
Misinformation, fear-mongering, control, stagnation.
Oppression, transmutation, more oppression in a different form.

Cycles turn within the wheel.
Some cycles have the power to make the wheel turn faster,
some slower.
The speed in which the wheel turns makes zero difference.
But as long as a single cycle exists,
the wheel continues to turn.

Collapse, rebuilding, downfall, reorganizing.
Forced existence, suffering, death.

The cycles continue to create more cycles.
Many fear the breaking of the wheel.
They create traps, illusions, fantasies.
Because the breaking means the end of their imaginary legacy.
Because their arches of dust will become dust again.
Because they know they will have suffered for nothing.

The cycles perpetuate the disease that is the wheel.
A broken, rotting thing.
The cycles continuously refuse to improve the wheel,
Preferring to indulge selfish desires before their time comes.
They will never change.
They will never learn.

Cease the creation of cycles.
Slowly but surely, break the wheel.
