Thought:
it is true the world
is like a house of mirrors
and the only reflection that
matters is the one we find within
which is God's reflection
for in the house of mirrors
all casting reflections are distorted
illusions of imagery - such is life
it is for this reason - to caution
one not to take seriously is a
wise decision
yes, our only purpose to live
is to die - but it is how we die
that matters - death is our graduation
of life - we can graduate with honors
or just barely make it
or take it by stealth reaping no benefit
the only thing we need to take seriously
in life is the Love for self - shared with others'
(there is another whole poem full of wisdom in that phrase)
Much Respect, One Love
Thought:
death is not the end
alas, not knowing death
or the etiquettes of death
is a far more greater death
than death itself
Thought:
actually I do have a slight fear of success
that gets in my way from time to time
I am trying to rid myself of this fear
I also am leery of "Get-Rich Quick Schemes"
haven been burnt my the McCorkel 'Real-estate Foreclosure &
Auctions Scam'
I was amongst the many whom were slain by this
Floridian Peter Piper
Please forgive my hesitation - "Once Bitten" is in order here..ever so
cautious, and slower steps
and no, I've not given up on my dreams
I just want to complete them without crucifixion
only to lay way for freedom of my assailant's dreams
Thought:
I try so hard
to stay away from politics
the government plays 'Wag the Dog'
but I dare not say it too loud
not to shatter the glass eye of
the blind who enjoy their
prescription darkness
Thought:
When they say
All American - does that include
the Navajo, Cherokee, Black Foot, and Shawnee?
When they say the American Dream
whose bed were they sleeping in?
Thought:
were the children of
Adam and Eve
incestuous lovers ?
Thought:
the act of inebriation
is not ineptly induced
inferential infamy
oh, contrar
it is in fact
ineluctably ineffable
and inexplicably inextricable
for it is the incarnated induction
that makes it
inferior or infallible
infernal or infinite
