Descendent of proto humans
dumbfounded, mystified, stupefied, et cetera
despite plethora of technological trappings,
whereby world wide web virtually linkedin
allowing, enabling, and providing
instantaneous electronic feedback,
I still experience dearth
of mental, psychological and social
meaningfulness amidst cerebral chaos
courtesy healthy mailer daemons
occupying sixty plus shades of gray matter
more valuable then any terrain
designated as Silicon Valley or Wall Street
constituting nexus of brain power,
where metaphysical thoughts proliferate
and ponder such basic thought
such as who art yours truly
what (I declare)
will constitute date with death
and where will corporeal flesh
and spirit separately journey?
Since time immemorial
millennium generations
happenstance bestowed *****sapiens
ability to become self aware
double edged figurative sword
allowing, enabling, providing...
forebears of yesteryear
to marvel at life, and
reckon with death,
which mixed blessing
wrestling with living and dying
also confronts man/womankind
during twenty first century
said inscrutable dilemma,
albeit reconciling mortality
linkedin with consciousness
heightened, tested, under_scored...
particularly at demise dearly departed
inadvertently affect
upon surviving family members
hijacking, offsetting, upending...
fracturing emotional composure
prompting immediate questions
regarding purposefulness living
nee, being born essentially to die
predestined to pass away
identical fate decreed upon
all animals and plants
bolstered by believing deity
foreordained every creature
past, present, and future,
yet most pronounceable afflicting
non denominational, non
religious, non sectarian
case in point Unitarian,
vis a vis visa versa secular humanists,
especially nonsensical poet wannabe
riddled with perplexity
about nature of being alive
wondering what explains
essence constituting individual fluke
finding meaning scuttling
across world wide web
hither and yon, to and fro
dumbfounded at futility
absolute zero adequate answers
(again, unless one subscribes
to codified doctrinal dogma
i.e. religion, faith, creed...)
I attest as garden variety primate
baffled, flummoxed, nonplussed...

...This was the end of Rob’s fantastic tale,
we stood their blinking and scratching our heads,
then Rob leapt up with the vigor of youth,
when merely minutes ago he’d been dead!
He said,”I’ve got to go tell the world about this!”
at that same moment that man tried to leave,
his coworkers had to talk the man down,
and let us doctors check him medically.
But we found nothing was wrong with his head,
we turned him loose to go back to his home,
within a week he had started preaching,
within three months had followers of his own.
Most of the religions cried “Heresey!”
They would not yield to a doctrinal change,
but followers heard this tale of forgiveness,
and their reactions came in a wide range.
Some claimed he made excuses for evil,
called him a new flavor of Satanist,
that without a devil to corrupt man
what called evil just couldn’t exist.
Others claimed it was proof of God’s greatness,
the no being was beyond His power,
if He could forgive the Devil himself
then it would just help people’s faith flower.
If He would not give up on Satan’s sin,
then He would never break his trust in us;
but then some would say Satan fled our evil,
and that our ‘curse of free will’ was the cause.
Now the secular folk thought it good fun
to watch believers tear themselves apart,
was this the end of the faiths we all knew?
Or simply a new theology’s start?
Folks have asked me, since I witness all this,
if I have insight to help them decide
whether the Devil is back in Heaven,
or if these are rants from a man who near died?
Part of my thinks it must be the latter,
then I remember that Rob’s alive at all...
How does a man walk off without a scar
when he fell from a spot twenty feet tall?
All I can say is,”I’m just a doctor,”
and much of this,”I still cannot explain.”
Has the Devil himself been forgiven,
or is Rob Abermarle friggin’ insane?

Last Saturday night I dropped by for a few beers at Kelsey's Bar.
Archie Bunker was there, drinkin' beer and chompin' on a nickel seegar,
Expoundin' on religion and his pinko, atheist son-in-law, Meathead!
If you dared to contradict him, he'd tell you right off to drop dead!
"Edith gits her guidance from The Reverend Fletcher but the Bible is my guide!
Now you take Adam and Eve. She took a bite of apple and to God she lied!
So woman brung about the downfall of man and God got purty sore I hear,
And saith, "Clothe thyselfs in fig leaves and git the 'ell outta here!"
"Meathead said Christ was Jewish - musta been on His mother's side!
But what does that atheist know about such things - God he don't abide!
He don't believe Christ is the Son of God but the Bible says it's so!
To prove that, ever'body gits Christmas off to jubilate as we know!"
"God can do anything, buddy! He can turn your jawbone into an ass!
Don't listen to nothin' Meathead says about religion - he's so full of gas!
I say God created the world in seven days - Edith said it was six days,
'Cause He rested on the seventh - maybe so - He works in mysterious ways!"
"God don't make no mistakes - that's how He got to be ruler of the universe!
So don't go blamin' Him for your troubles - without Him things could be worse!"
My head was spinning when I left Kelsey's Bar and it wasn't because of the beer!
'Twas Archie Bunker's curious doctrinal insights that brought it on, I fear!

Long ago I was born Catholic in a home smelling of Holy wax and Montreal
family life was a communal fractal of worship as I drew closer to Mary's call
Obedient to extreme I never questioned my Faith nor my doctrinal lineage
I heard voices only Mystics deciphered, in this inner sanctum a lived as a sage
Then at the age of twenty I left my hierarchical home to live abroad who knew,
that a new day was dawning, I soon flew by the power of my wings, on cue
one day I entered a Buddhist Temple for the first time confused and alone,
I revisited this place after a long journey, and spiritually re-found my home
I owed it to myself to find my own truth even if it meant shifting space
so onwards I went into Sacred Silence as a devotee of United Grace
*******
One lifetime I am on a Ferris Wheel laughing and eating cotton candy with my Father,
and the next I am on a Dharma Wheel moving my penumbra light like an obedient daughter.
Long ago I was a great Catholic girl in a home with family too loud and violent to feel safe,
today I don't tag myself in any Faith, leaning towards Sacred Light I am who I am, vouchsafe.
