The Great Riddle

“The Great Riddle” Humanism became a new religion in a world where romancing gods at war sanctifying acts of violence for their own levels of commandments, became defunct, monotheism at odds walked inside the vessels of mortal existence there also, inside the great I am, an image lives and speaks the sacriligious poet writing and speaking listening to others all the words gone wrong considering rehoming after death, there are many houses...there, what should gods and warring religions matter then? Inside the great I am, heresies romancing apostates perilous poets and all consuming clerics all made from the one image of a man living life from the confusing words, read, written and spoken sleeping together uncomfortably like warring lovers blanketed under harsh covers of different books seeking something sweet riddles to be answered by judges after their death when all do meet standing around the communal fire burning all their books peace came to be upon them no longer did they speak in riddles a common knowledge all words transparent one voice heard its beating heart succinct, yet terribly misunderstood, eventually felt held in hands after death the Reborn, eventually understood (LadyLabyrinth / 2023) "Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet."
