@poetryisnotaluxury on Instagram: "Mary Oliver  Of The Empire We will be known as a culture that feared death  and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity  for the few and cared little for the penury of the  many. We will be known as a culture that taught  and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke  little if at all about the quality of life for  people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All  the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a  commodity. And they will say that this structure  was held together politically, which it was, and  they will say also that our politics was no more  than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of  the heart, and that the heart, in those days,  was small, and hard, and full of meanness. @maryoliverofficial From Red Bird Beacon Press 2008 #poetryisnotaluxury #maryoliver"
