THE REACHING CONFLICT

Folder: 
JOURNAL#24

we seek something better

but often take the best of what

we can get

the trade off lies in the endurance of the lull

in between the two conflicting spheres

what we want verses what is available

a dilemma of constructive deconstruction

man's greatest pit

the tar in which he wallows in

the get rich gasp

that chokes the spirit

is for most

an unknown but constant ailment

for others a hollow hurdle

cleared when the time is right

what experience teaches each individual

in invaluable

the Rosetta Stone

one might say

is man's reconciliation with the

existence and subsequent value of his

living soul

all the rest then

becomes potatoes

gathering around him

like bothersome dust

trappings of this physical life

but little more than

useless junk

to the self educating soul............
