Recycling: Why's- Wise

we are creatures of...
a time lapse

that digest only in fractions...
about 1/14rh of each second

while 13/14ths escape us...
with respect cause and effects

we love the curiosity of cats but...
lay claim to some inner self image

echoes of creations mythological analogies...
from surviving untold 'centuries of millennias'

of change at least as intelligently as cats because...
human kind survives by asking the right questions

which means we as rational beings have a power to see what is...
within/without by way of practical and abstracted logics

so the 13/14ths of the pi that disappeared right in/of the light of day...
off the eye's 'window sill' without our knowing anything

more about it than rational is our choice over confusion and...
we - who what when where and why - wise dream too much

i mean - buttoned down screwed up reality images of ego...
greed power possession and re-vengance as war to serve...

scam artists profiting off the 'who when where and why' that bows...
some to a what that's supposed to be a good reason for their deaths

Quite often we are left in the dark when it comes to the whos hows and whys but the reality of it, we need to contend and do our best, with what they rend. Nice one dear poet friend, join forces with me in praying for a better Universal healed family. xo

thank you for the comment.....it's kind of like the w5 is with respect tools of social control....and our fractional intake hides what are aspects of the present- causes and effects.....stan sand
