Clothed in metaphor
Mystery, obfuscation,
What is existence?
Clothed in metaphor
Mystery, obfuscation,
What is existence?
Faith is believing what you know ain't so - Mark Twain
The preachers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves - Henry David Thoreau
The way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason - Benjamin Franklin
The teaching of the church, theoretically astute, is a lie in practice and a compound of vulgar superstitions and sorcery - Leo Tolstoy
what is existence?
wish of god, blessing of life
for all the creatures
for all the creatures
bravely red in tooth and claw,
can you save yourselves?
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its' own reason for existing." ~ Albert Einstein
"Remember, no matter where you go, there you are." Buckaroo Bonzai "Some people say I done alright for a girl." Melanie Safka
Can you save yourselves
from warped imaginations
and the quest for I?
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
~Albert Einstein
And the quest for I?
would journey through eternity
and end in almighty
and end almighty
in palm, jeweled sea over
unceasing creases
and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.
- John Berryman
Unceasing creases
grew with age, endured woes
turned him a sage
turned him a sage one
sober item of the age
good celebrity
"It is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but him who knows with wisdom how to use the blessings of the gods, to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland."
- Horace
good celebrity
victim of paparazzi
smiles to hide the pain
smiles to hide the pain
stretches the truth to highlight
the cause he supports
"It is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but him who knows with wisdom how to use the blessings of the gods, to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland."
- Horace
The cause he supports
was the new blood in his veins
flowing ceaselessly
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
~Albert Einstein
flowing ceaselessly
unswerving, the mills of time
in slimy process
"It is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but him who knows with wisdom how to use the blessings of the gods, to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland."
- Horace
in slimy process
slowly slop slung to the pigs
I think your pigs ate your last line, ff.
that shiver and snort,
pleased with siphoning the words
from the poet's pen.
"Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."
I haven't done this in a long time. I hope it's any good.
From the poet's pen
To the balck panther's sharp claws
My heart is in angst.
LET THERE BE LIGHT
