Ifeanyi Bob Ekechukwu Poet Blank verse

Based On Belief

From vast emptiness, 
imagination is formed 
which births a substance.
  Reality is a seed of 
imagination based on 
belief which becomes a 
substance,for what is and 
what is not are based on 
belief.
   How do we really know 
if who we call siblings are 
really part of us,were we 
born with perception?
   Are our parents really 
ours?We accept based on 
belief.
Words formed are 
accepted so also spouse's 
fidelity.
   Tomorrow like a hollow 
always existing before 
birth of mankind,gives 
birth but nobody 
can grasp it's loathsome-
sweet seed.
  Tangibility of substance 
is based on belief,what 
you belief is what you 
have.
  You read my philosophy 
of reasoning based on 
your belief that it harbors 
treasures beyond 
measures-for knowledge 
isn't acquired from birth
 but on belief.
  Then what is your belief?

Brenda Levy November 27, 2013 at 9:05 PM Very philosophical. Are siblings really a part of us? Biologically, yes, but siblings can have very different personalities and wind up in very different places.

Sandra Adams November 13, 2013 at 8:15 PM a very thought provoking piece....yes we base most things on what we believe to be true...but do we really know what the truth is? good write my friend :) hugs

Andrea Dietrich November 13, 2013 at 4:29 PM Hmmm, biologically a sibling or parent is ours, but spiritually it could be a whole other story!! that is how I interpret this one. A very unique way to discuss this topic!
