Kingdom of Doubters

Reacting to every stimulus
Passing judgments with every thought
This is good, I'll say
And that, well isn't so hot
Now words are coming back to me
So deep they haven't budged
And cliche til my eyes glaze over
Judge not lest yet ye be judged

But perhaps I've been too hasty
Reacting against my brainwashing
And maybe the true meaning was lost
To a consciousness in infancy
And if Einstein is indeed correct
With the Theory of Relativity
Then a strong case has to be made
That things are not as they seem

Always we think we know
With a label, judgment sets
Not taking into consideration
The million variables not thought of yet
As Copernicus proposed the radical theory
That the Earth orbits the Sun
Just one of infinite awakenings
And this journey has just begun

I remember my blazing insecurities
When adhering to popular beliefs
And the emptiness of talking parrots
Living the definition of insanity
This happiness I am now living
In the face of such disharmony
I propose a new dimension may await
For those preparing to release all beliefs

interesting, David. It is similar in some respects to my own you commented on at length. Alot here and packed full of subjects to be explored wuth the help of the ONE. writing has always helped me to explain these things to myself foremost when I seek to find Truth and attempt to live it. .... yes ...living the definition of insanity ... doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Thank you for sharing this David
