For some of us, spiritual rallies are but inept attempts to perpetuate the same ol’, reminding us once again of the other “What if?"
Tabled Destiny by Odin Roark Life's tsunami starts way back the shifting tectonics of time re-form yet another evolution one's bargained death wish in disguise Most know not when disturbance begins when spilled milk begins to teach when failure trumpets wisdom From cradle to grave we're taught you can't have that preschool elementary middle high higher ahhh the onion skin admission ticket PERFECT JOB Do this Have that Eight hour work day No Twelve hour work day Yes Be reasonable No Shark-infest your waters Yes Earn your bonus No Scheme your advance Yes Retire with honor No Cash in beating the system Yes PERFECT RELATIONSHIP Honest background No Fabricated heredity Yes Thinking No Status quo Yes Intelligence used No Entitlement expected Yes Quiet and focused No Loud and scattered Yes Enjoined No Divorced Yes ONE DAY The next random shift erupts innate calendars run asunder you're finally free no more corralling of instinct no more downside to curiosity no more programs to die by INFINITY CALLS Shackles fall free unhappiness exits flames cleanse bodily disease smoke and cloud transport molecules of ecstasy to form anew NEXT STOP Catching the first breeze to nowhere to everywhere to schedules unknown to existence sans time Where chance be not tabled where worth be not an issue and day and night be one with all that was is and will ever be WELCOME HOME
