Reality or Falsehood

is it real?
am i real?
are you real? 
is anything around us real?
everything is perceived as fake.
i know it’s there.
i know it exists.
but for some odd reason,
it all feels hoaxed,
surreal,
dull,
empty,
ambiguous.
but why?
if i know people exist, objects are real, and my feelings are real,
so why does everything feel misplaced?
lost, even.
i discern as if i am fraud.
it’s a

Premium MemberThe Great Debate

(“Citadel of Light Merit Badge”, 2016, original pen and ink)

The Great Debate

The great debate in buddhism
Specifically in ancient Tibet,
Was between the sudden and gradualist schools.
Even though the event is apocryphal
And never actually happened,
It’s a good and relevant story
Because it is the debate that happens to this day
Between students and teachers,
Dharma brothers and sisters
And within our

The elegance of privilege

Privilege is elegant 
Graceful, as it glides like a breeze 
Unnoticed by those who catches its attention 
Noticed by those who live in the shadow
Although it's voice not loud 
It's presence demands to be heard
It's violence shows in its hidden claws
Knowing when to pounce and when to be quiet

It lives within recognition
And if quick smiles

Mind Vs Heart

Poem of the day 



My heart and brain, a constant fight,
A war within, day and endless night.
Emotions rage, like a stormy sea,
While logic whispers, "Think clearly."

Love and reason, in discordant sway,
My heart beats strong, while my brain says "wait".
Feelings flood, like a tidal wave,
While facts and reason, my passion try to save.

In this battle, I'm

Premium MemberJoy vs bliss

caged in a form in this domain
fleeting is joy as also pain
since we feel not one with the source 
thus are prone to struggle and strain

if we give up the use of force
discarding feral instincts coarse
befriending silence, love entwined
we read script of bliss penned in morse

head melds with heart, love aligned
one with oneness, the truth’s

Premium MemberCorrelation vs Causation

When you look around at the world
How do you know 
If it’s correlation or causation in effect?
You don’t.

The only way to really objectively know
Is to subjectively know
Which means we don’t really know squat
About the larger world outside our bubble.

And this ambiguity
Leaves us open to suggestion and doubt
And manipulation and control
By those with more confidence.

The truth

Premium MemberConceptual vs factual

in the heart of the absolute
an intent arose
to manifest as a soul seed
then see how He grows 

hiranyagarbha: cosmic egg
shaped like head ovoid
was the first manifestation 
pure and unalloyed

both immanent and transcendent 
Self as living light
crystallised then as body-mind
where ego blurred sight

earth life’s real and yet a dream
twirled by gunas three
yet light innate cannot be

Memories vs Merits

The good times, and fitness
In albums borne witness
Disappoint on the test
That determines one’s ‘rest’.

The stakes can be raised
By giving G-d praise,
Respecting a spouse
Within one’s own house,
Being noted Above
For doling out love,
And enriching ascent
On the charities spent.

Descendants who’ll place
On the mantle, Grand’s face
Will frolic near the shelf
Making memories of self.

Black joy vs the world

They hate us not because we’re bad but because we are everything they cannot be
Because while they stew in their own misery
Formed from their own jealousy 
We live life fully
Because that’s the beauty of Black people
We create joy where joy has been locked out

Then try to hide it through false superiority
Whilst trying to convince the

Premium MemberGood vs Pleasant

Ego, the thought we are this body-mind,
delusion, since we’re in truth living light,
so good is that which leaves desires behind,
all transient pleasures that opaque clear sight.
To reclaim our light that banishes night,
thought cessation is the optimal way,
joyful heart like a child, given to play.

Employing our free will, God-search the quest,
body-mind then is like a car

Jofra vs Burmrah the crown jewel duel

Is there any other sort of sport.. that can hold a candle to having to handle

Getting caught in the ripsnort onslaught scandal…as speedsters hold court

Fraught as they face a serious deleterious imperious express pace ace

At their sleek peak..unique freaks..bombastic..iconoclastic mercenaries

Havoc to wreak on adversaries.. and their own physique..


So as we’ve read..will the King of swing..zing

Black people vs the world

No your burdens are not for us to carry 
We know your game 
You fake a smile 
Bat your little eyelashes 
Pretend you care 
Then reveal your true motive 

You want us to fight your battles for you 
But when we need help
On your end all we hear is silence
While you sit back and watch
