Why say another word when words can not change a thing?
I wish you would see the honesty of the feeling which gave them life
Maybe you would not discard them so easily
Those who know dont speak
Those who speak dont know
Why speak when the end is already in sight?
What difference would it make?
A word of truth has the sound of a stone in a bottomless well
Its impact never known
Your departure guaranteed
I am a thinker and my intention is to make my life as pleasant as I possibly can. I dont jump over fences just because other people say I should. I prefer to be by myself rather than be with people who bore me to death talking about how great they are or how difficult their life is. I have a cursory interest in whats happening in the world, in my professional field and in small talk topics, but none of it fascinates me deeply. I realise that I actually live in my mind, and if anything is worth changing, it is the way my mind works in other words, I am totally mad and nobody is going to stop me from totally enjoying the expe
Has it ever happened to you
That what you once thought you knew
Was proven to be wrong
Has it occurred to you
That what you think you know today
May also prove to be wrong
You may well realise that once you were a fool
You surely see the fool in others
Yet you are so sure of yourself today
And still call yourself a rational being
Freedom is a great word
That has deceived many
The wind in my hair
The adrenalin pumping
A well calculated risk
I think I can feel its meaning
But I'm soon captured again
When all the family have turned their backs
When all the friends have gone
There is the freedom of not being known
The mind swings freely flirting with insanity
Death is immaterial
Letting go of all control
Tending only to the moment
I think I can feel its meaning
And nobody noticed my escape
Unemployed, looking for work
Healthy body, healthy mind
Slight deviation from mainstream
$20,000/yr
Young Aboriginal, thrown into prison for stealing
Healthy body, healthy mind
strong deviation from mainstream
$80,000/yr
Severely handicapped

Adjustment to mainstream unknown

The mind, unable to ingest infinity
presumes its contents to be the key to control
yet all knowledge is illusionary
despite our vain assertions of its validity
life continues to prove us wrong
as we keep missing the point
The process of learning is not a means to an end
it is the end in itself and knowledge is its enemy
It is arrogance to think there would be one person on earth
you'd have nothing to learn from
It is only in ignorance of its complexity
to think there is one thing you truly understand
The infinity of Life is mirrored in its every instant
As all is one and one is all
What is given will be received
In selfishness we clearly aim
To nourish our greed
And shrivel in the vacuum
When only pleasure given
Can rejoice our soul
Life, what a puzzle it is. So precious it seems, yet so fragile. As a child we dont ask what life is, where it is going and what our place in it should be. Just like an animal, we live in complete innocence. But soon the suffering sets in and ensuring our survival requires our conscious mind. With its impressive qualities of memory, logic, and consequent prediction of the future it seems an awful treasure and weapon bestowed upon humans. Thus we conclude that our conscious is so precious that we must surely be superior to all other forms of life. Surely it is better than the perfection of a cats body in its function to hunt. It
The most beautiful thing in life
It grows with glowing colours
Yet nothing to be touched
Fragile as the finest glass
When it is shattered
The pieces causing pain
It will rebuild and grow again
In many forms and shapes
How many lives does it have
Every time seems like the last
As the last must as surely come
As its promise never kept
Sociologists speak of the Mirror Self
As if there was only others perception
To define who I am
After long and exhaustive search
I must agree there is only an empty shell
Filled with others dreams and expectations
None of it is mine
I is only the space
staging the illusion
Now I know Im not what others think I am
But I dont correct any of their misconceptions
I play the part as best I can
The opinions I offer are as honest as can be
Without shattering the mirror
Truly knowing that I is nothing
I can be anything at any time
And no one would ever know
That the result of any action
Is comple
As long as survival is paramount
The coarsest will lead
That's why my greatest ambition is to dance with death
He doesn't want to take me yet
I forge ahead with as much dignity as I can muster
Given the animal mind I rely upon
And practice the greatest of arts
Doing nothing
As often as none have reason to complain
Some of whom love me
Some of whom hate me
But most just use me as a cog in the machine
Yet all must be pacified if there is any hope of peace
We would cringe at the thought of being called an animal
How well we have caged the beast
Our veneer is highly polished and the words refined
When we think nobody will know
We gladly serve the beast for a while
Oh it feels so good until the guilt sets in
But the one thing we fail to see
The core of the beast
Its very heart
The evolution of genetic code
Is still our largest value
And completely irrelevant is the condition of life
As long as survival is achieved
And cruelty and suffering remain
So many wise words have been spoken
So few have understood
Where is the measure of what is right and wrong
Is the direction clear
Because I cannot see that we are going anywhere
When I comes first, there can never be peace
Just think how hard it is with one other
The design is simply faulty
A few conscious thoughts taking on the might of our mind
Humanity is bound to self-destruct
Thats life
It is rumoured that Goodness exists
Some speak of saints and gurus
Some think of the young woman
Who gives her life to look after her mother
Yet I can not judge for how can I know the motivation
And how can I know if there is another side
I am only wrestling with myself
Deciding on every of my actions
Noting all my thoughts
I find that Goodness is beyond me
All I can do is take one step at a time
If it was you or me and I had the power
Who would I choose
What is good and what is bad
Who decides the direction
Surely you know that nothing matters
Havent you seen it written in the stars
On a warm clear night
In glorious insignificance
Now only a hollow memory of the moment survives
Buried in duties and ambition
Choked by longing and fear
How could I live with the truth
I would surely kill or die you cry
That is the skill of life
To do nothing
To be content with the breath passing
My presence in this moment
Is it worth my life
Nothing does matter
Everybody knows what they need to know
Everybody feels in control
If that is not so the sickness must be cured
With good council and some drugs
But if I dare to imagine that I dont understand the world
Then a possibility emerges
Where maybe the world is far more complex than we pretend
And as the dog has no idea that a war is raging
We are caught in currents not of our making
From the little we can see we extract a picture
If instead of quibbling over who is right
We all listened to the other
Maybe we could fathom
The enormity of life
How much time is left on your clock
Do you know that it could end tomorrow
Feel it in your heart what needs to be done
Restraint by fear you agree to be caged
Make your death part of every decision
That is the only solid ground
Your life will grow in strength
Nothing can shake those foundations
It takes a warrior of great skill and courage
To walk the fine line between life and death
Neither care nor fear for either
Restrict the attention to the present
Where infinity resides
I put on the music and love the first sounds
Next thing I know it has stopped playing
Oh how I love the smell and taste of good food
I cherish the first bite and make my compliment
But the rest disappears with little notice
The limitation of my mind
allows so little of each moment to be seen
Most are hidden in Shadows
Cast by the past or the future
I can perceive the new
But adapting so quickly
The fresh exciting unknown
Becomes the dull known
Let go of the past
Honour your debts
Allow the future to be
Whatever it so chooses
Take care of the present
And slowly the mind will improve
Its like a scared kitten
Always j
How hard it can be to take another step
When I know Im not going anywhere
The sadness that comes with thoughts of loved ones
Whose suffering I can not relieve
Provides precious moments
When the taste for bitterness has been nurtured
What is right today is wrong tomorrow
What is created today will die tomorrow
A good idea matures into a meaningless gesture
Before achieving the opposite of its original intention
But of course your idea will be different
Just as you are immortal and everything will last forever
You think it normal to deceive yourself
While claiming to be a rational being
Stop lying to yourself
You don't car
He seemed harmless and kind
A bit of a fool perhaps
He spoke in a quiet manner
His eyes like oceans
Of sorrow and calm
Framed in a smile
Beware of the consumption
Thoughts once thought cannot be erased
His energy resonates in the depths of your being
His honesty pierces your heart
The encounter could be fatal
Beware of the consumption
Thoughts once thought cannot be erased
His words echo in the silence
Destroying all hope and illusion
Beware of the consumption
Thoughts once thought cannot be erased
We were all always the best of friends
And over all the years
We grew together like family
Learning each others quarks
And strange habbits
Yet accepting each one
Without even a second thought
Through the years
We've all had our dissagreements
And little meaningless fights
Yet we always made it through
Each one
And always ended up better
Friends because of it
As the end approached
We seemed to drift appart
A small fight
Snowballed into
What seemed like
A splitting of many friendships
I worried endlessly
That things would not be settled
And we would leave
Under bad terms
A regret everyone would share
Yet something happ
Friends
driving home
late at night
the sky is perfect
the stars are shining
the mountains encase the little valley we all call home
the same routene drive
seems a little shorter today
knowing these times
will only last
for such a short time
so I slow down
and follow the old couple
driving 20 under
and yet it doesnt bother me
like it usually would
and I can't find the ambition to pass them
savoring all our time
we have left together
we joke and laugh about our day
at all the stupid things we did
at all the mistakes we made
our day today
was not spectacular
or particularly memorable
yet it was perfect
I know I am goi
Normally, I'm a silent riot.
A void on the outside,
Screaming profanity on the inside.
But here, it finally quieted down, and you can see me.
I lie when people ask me how I am
And everytime I say Ok.
It's kinda funny in its own way, I suppose.
Lying about your state of being.
But every time it happens, I die a little inside.
Because they go on their merry way,
Not knowing how rehersed that is,
When behind their backs I'm cryin
Someone save me.
But I'll still keep answering to that stupid phrase,
Just Ok, and nothing more
Cause I'm waiting for someone to turn around
And make me tell the truth.
Only then, will I know if they ev
The veiled Truth
How do we know
When wrong is right
And right is wrong?
Where wrong is sometimes right
And right is sometimes wrong?
And how can we base our lives
On the lies we have been fed?
Do they expect us to accept
All that has been said?
How do we know
What to believe
When everything is fake?
Who is right?
And who is wrong?
In this amalgamation
No one is everything
But no one is nothing.
If nothing lasts forever
There can be no eternal fame
And if we're just forgotten
Is everything we do in vain?
Why are we here
Do we have some purpose?
Is what we do important
Or are we just a character in a play?
First watche
In the low country,
they call me a vagrant,
a vagabond, a witch
(but only on Sundays
when the preacher is
listening).
The rest of the
week, they bring
me their scaly scalps,
their broken hearts,
their dreams dying
in the tobacco sheds
and packing plants,
begging me and my herbs,
my bowl and pestle, my
intricate enchantments
to grant the wishes
their prayers have
failed to satisfy.
So, come to me
when the moon
rides high and your
hopes are dim, and
I will show you why
they call me
a queen.
