That may be you
Submerged in the water.
There you are
Below ripples and waves you cast.
A blurred image lies
Upon the surface.
Some flow, some flee
All swim from the past.
Forever changing
so why hide in the dark depths?
A breath is sweeter
the longer it's been from the last.
Who needs air
when you have vital camouflage?
You will drown
mask on, the demise of your façade.
All to be seen, The way you seem
Help you God!
Safety emerges out of the heart of science
And security from the mind which knows.
Illusion appears as a door with many locks.
Certainty, sadly, only a single key.
The ungraspable rests on the other side.
You may attempt to see its complexities but-
Glimpses through cracks reveal problems to solve.
And a conclusion proceeds to heaps of perplexities.
Eternally, humanity picks at these locks
piecing a puzzle with expanding boundary.
We create keys to grab with ease,
But spirit splits through fingers to drip playfully.
Let’s attach the flow of liquid to law.
Solving the fathomless so we know-
No wonder it does this and that
molecular structure has shape and goes.
The tide crashes because of lunar gravitation.
Blood circulation from the heart palpitations.
Each a vibration, birthed from the mana of mystery.
Settling, to think we’ve calculated the cause.
We think we know so we must know how
How what’s behind that imperishable door
Operates over here through our time.
But no- our thumbs can’t grab that flow of life.
More rights –
Because that’s right.
Right?
They want their alcohol,
so much so
It's worth revolting
Prohibitions get trampled
So, let’s give them cigarettes
While we’re at it
Inhibitions last
Because our economy thrives
Selling a fix to them
Pills, sweet drinks with energy
Temptation, the fuel
Desire burns hot
Spending, consuming
May feel worth the work
But happy, they’re not
They need satisfaction
But the compulsion
Just won’t fix that
So, here’s the internet
A screen to distract them
From their troubling thoughts
As long as we’re paid
And they’re subscribed
Insanity is affordable
They’re upset,
Because we’re rich
And they’re poor
Maybe some more rights
Will make things right
Right?
I can say,
"Everything happens
for a reason."
Because say
is active.
It happens in this moment.
Reasoning
also occurs
in this moment.
Right here.
Right now.
I can always
reason now
for things that happened before.
They ask,
"If everything happens for a reason,
then why do bad things happen?"
In the statement,
"Everything happens for a reason"
Everything does not discriminate good from bad.
Good and Bad
Is the human psyche placing judgement.
We like this and we don't like that.
