What Is This Life

What is this life…reality? Why do I question it relentlessly so? So many moments seemingly meaningless Meandering through this meaningful sentience, Chronology… Continuity… Spirituality… But reality, Oxford will tell you: Property of being real, resemblance to Origional. Accountable, in my opinion, only through dissemblance. What I ask, is original? It’s all rather subliminal Made up by man and his idea of ideal. Be like budda, be like a tree, Pray to Gods, pray for money.. This will make you healthy, that will make you ill Where is the free will in all this obscurity? What is this substance we call reality? I beg your pardon, sir and madam, Excuse my blaspheme if religion is your reality, But goddamn, sir and madam It’s outrageous and random, The idea… The ideal… Any idea for that matter For what is made of blaspheme? Speaking irreverently of sacred things. What is not sacred down to a grain of sand? If all by the hand and will of God, Or aliens.. Or angels… Or spark of light, Let us not in the slight, pretend To know or name a single thing. Sacred cannot be named, Or unnamed… Or disclaimed… And yet it is, and so is the tangibility of life. May we all feel deeply, sir and madam Again I say: Goddamn! For this… Obscurity… A tangible reality.

have you suffered to some fit of rage ... was something in the midst of what you smoked ... Sacred is the Land that was Slain ... it is in my weakest moments we are covered by the blood and reborn ... so ... to the Sacred ... i now my head in reverence to the one that allows me to consume His breath of Love ... i fall short of the goal I have set to attain ... our words will be marked on our souls ... when we stand in judgment it is alone ... it is here in this present time love can be chosen ..
