Poem
Ludwig Andreas von Feuerbach Or What Is in A Name When building Babylonian Towers with the Lego of our minds we construct our world and worlds our truths and meanings our dreams and projections of what there should be ingenious forsaken in our journey towards scraping our sky A fortress stands tall towers lo and below the identity kit with customs and instructions culture roles norms and rules as prison or shelter guidance or plight ~ Hlud ~ is the famous and ~ Wig ~ is the War in so such less known meaning in the name of mortals the name of The Lord living on forever and a day or never unbound ~ Andreas ~ the manly and brave one who rejects the paradigm’s dogma he who takes on the Kingdom of Heaven as it governs us earthlings as offsprings of power Of aristocratic privilege ~ von ~ bestowed by the secular sovereign working hand in hand sort of power sharing accommodating the cross and the sword ~ Feuer ~ the fire and ~ Bach ~ the small stream of the water maybe the flow of subconscious realm of living upriver the swirl of the name both hot and dry like blazing convection conviction melting existing beliefs of the times and yet cold and wet like the showering rainstorms with thunder and lightening flooding locks weirs barrages and dams of damnation of Church religion in incipient torrent ~ God ~ Ludwig posits is the outward projection of human’s benevolent wishes and there fore them building the castle and not the fortified palace creating the living A panjandrum exposed reconfigured as the Saviour corresponds in every aspect to some feature in human nature and is created in our image not some other way round and yes we strive for benevolence without which there there can not be a God So what castles then do we want to build in the topmost realms in the sky beyond all those cumulus clouds the ramifications of faith obfuscations of dominant guidance good ethics and virtues the ether of essence dialectics of wheeling and dealing with life God has no separate existence from humans and the creator remains part of creation and creation remains part of the creator but who plays with the Lego and who are the bricks to be shuffled and stacked along with whose wishes and walled trenches who guards which trapdoors and pitfalls false bottoms in whatever minds Its all in a name and my personal castles are intimate and faithful and I prefer to ‘extimate’ what belongs outside do not wish to be told what I’m longing for for my home is my castle and the sky is the limit 02nd November 2016
