Man's Alternative Universe

Perfection, born in the mind of man, yearns imaginations of immortality haunt his soul with his realized acceptance of a finite life he struggles to understand the why Ugliness, born in his heart, cripples his hunger for power, to rule, to lash out for being born a weak creature, so all must suffer to appease the pain burning in his mind, creating stronger demons that allow hate to have no conscience concerns or regrets Understanding, born from his perceptions a creation of his own making used as a guide to lead him through the wilderness of his thoughts a lighted lamb held to show the way on the winding journey through life as he struggles on a world scale to cause the death of millions or enlighten millions Beauty, born from his soul it gives voice and vision in dimensional perspective from the sub-conscious universe within with its well of emotion, that fills his whole being with a state of exhalations and wonder whether a painted smile hung for appreciation in a museum or a faint smile from the mouth of a newborn baby beauty is the innocent eyes of youth exploring the exchange of inhibitions while watching a sunrise in silence each revealing their own beautiful moment expressed in the dawn of their awe and wonder Man is all these things and more he holds every alternative reality whether in his hands or mind, guided by his soul what a simple frightened creature he is what a complex and creative creature he is destined for greatness, destined for failure either way, when he vanishes from the face of the Earth whatever is left here, won't remember 11/18/17 contest Alternative Festive Season
