I.D-Deal-An-Ology of Irresponsibility

I.D-deal-an-ology of Irresponsibility


Turn creation away from appreciation
And into a miracle
Turn the miracle away from care
For what possible pathetic hands as these
Could ever change anything

Turn life into a repentance for living
The demoralization of heavens acceptance
Gives anyone the easy excuse
Not to do; anything

Tis the last refuge
The last fig leaf of blindness
The very last impromptu surrender
That has nothing at all to do with this

Ideology of Irresponsibility
Places responsibility at someone else’s feet
And heaven augments the captivity
Of dreaming for something better

But; Better the dream in practice

Punishing the wicked
The social classes and poverty created
To think elitist
But deprivation instigated
The cause of so much suffering

Turn the blind eye to perfection then
And wait upon salvation
Turn teaching to the plethora of rigmarole
Do nothing about them
Say then
It is all in God’s hands
And wash clean your own
Rest the conscience in the balm of deliverance

Praise all the little tiny aspects of creation
And never know
What it means to be responsible for them

Walk away in comfort
Be comforted
By an inglorious gratitude
That strips caring to a falsehood
Of simply shrugged shoulders

Cry humanity, weep, wail and bitter turn
Shed the tears in abundance
And do nothing at all
About them

Ideology of Irresponsibility
Places responsibility at someone else’s feet
And heaven augments the captivity
Of dreaming for something better

Though; Better the dream in practice

Rather than the if, but and maybe of promises for tomorrow
and not today

P Sheart July 7, 2009 at 6:57 AM The power of perception on this planet is directly related to the choices we make in our way of thinking. Responsibility of that is ours to own. Conciousness is a magnificent force when harnessed with good intentions for the well being of all. Thanks for sharing this with us. Take care Love Light Truth Patricia
