Ipsofacto of { Fear

Ipsofacto of { Fear

Call yourself Christian
Call yourself Human
Call yourself Mohammedans

Say you are Sufi
Say you are Wicca 
Say you are Krishna Marti

Be nailed to suffering
The message of Buddhism
Find eternity in the Dao

Live for the moment
Escape in doctrine
Define yourself by dogma

Have faith in a word
Faith in “I AM ”
Faith in the Vibration “AUM ”

Look to heaven
Look to hell 
Look to the bottom of a wishing well

Believe in Nothing
Believe in Everything
Believe in Now

Be channelled by writing
And crystal healing
Find power by lay line divining

Pray to God
Pray to Christ
Pray to Lucifer

Read the Tarot
Read the I Ching
Read the “Seven rings of Bushido”

Draw on the eclectic
Draw on the Mystic
Draw on Theology

Think of death
Think of life
Think of death

See this Planet
See the Stars
See billions of Galaxies

Tiny Earth
Tiny mind
Tiny worlds

Explain a smile
Explain a tear
Explain all this with some originality

Why of life
Why of death
Why are we here

Or 
Ipsofacto of fear
