Touchable?

We as humans will long to reach into a burning fire
Only to pull out ash...but to our eyes it's a beatuiful diamond

So why as humans must we touch atoms, molecules, nuetrons, and protons to feel saticifed
When in reality the things that matter the most is what can't be felt or touched
Exactly like stardust

So What if confidence could be picked up and tangable like this key board that I type on now
What if destiny and fate could be grasped like the pen when gill scouts writes poetry then 
takes a bow 
What if the WORD OPPORTUNIY can be suductive and affective on my pretty brown skin like 
men
What if these words could be trapped like US soliders in Iraq attacking weapons
What if my mental state of mind could be looked at and noticed like time

And what if what i see and what matters the most to me
In my eyes didn't have to blind
See the material state of mind is what humans wish to behold
but what we don't know is papable ideas will always leave you in an confusion
And so i ask why can't the media put a different perception on the human illusion

My dopamine should be leveled and exsistant like faith not leveled by hate

see i can't feel god but i know that the man is important
see i can't see truth but i know that it matters
and i can't hold my mind but i know it's important
and i can't hold my soul but i know when it's hurting

and yes my words are disturbing
So why can't us humans live like stardust and seek reality
Why must we remain weak like this society

So i will ask again and please take time to comprehend my question and it might just change 
your perceptions


Why as humans must we touch atoms, molecules, nuetrons, and protons to feel saticifed
When in reality the things that matter the most is what can't be felt or touched
Exactly like stardust

Well oh well, we need more reality in here...where did you run off to? Your thinking is so very deep making your thought expressions are profound. I don't find your "words are disturbing"...they are like yourself, "Reality". Take care, be well, and wishing you the best! Mikki

What if mankind only had to obey 10 laws and they were black and white and no politician or no snake (lawyer) were allowed to makwe them gray. What if everyone obeyed those 10 laws, so greed, lust for power and all forms of hatred were eradicated. What if? Wonderful write. Vince
