Life

We look for monsters in the depths of antiquity enlightened by dreams in our search We dream and create gods to solve our problems In truth our dreams are waste lying in the dim decay of lost time Yes I believe there is one God look for monsters and you find illness look for blame and you find pain life happens pain happens It is not a punishment from God I did not deserve to suffer the three year old with cancer did not deserve to suffer Yet she did thousands will suffer in pain suffer and fight with great courage they do not deserve self blame I love the concept of karma at time it speaks with a truth that appeals to my sense of self worth yet it is not the whole truth In war both the guilty and the innocent suffer give your cuddles to those that are in pain Perhaps we'll teach the guilty to care perhaps we'll teach the innocent to believe Dragons came from the imagination of man and the bones of the dinosaurs Gods came from the fear of lost crops go unto a hypnotist and he puts you into a trance you see with your imagination what he wants you to see Monks went onto mountains put themselves into a trance did they see just what they wanted to see

Or what a drug induced state caused them to see. Excellent read and so well written. I guess one could say it rains on the just as well as the unjust. Glad I do not have to decide which is which.
