You fear losing yourself
And the fear of losing love pains you,
Yet you seem not to realise
That in the end all we create we lose,
Because in the final reckoning
Death is all that is certain and reliable,
And the only real truth .
I know what’s good for me
Spiritual dreams of consciousness reality
Helps me see through life’s illusory,
I see through this how kindness and love
Is what we need is far more than enough,
And everything else is just distractions
Like being coerced into different factions,
It’s not the division I seek, I seek unity
And a sharing of all this like a real community,
Where nobody goes without and is isolated
Promoting love and peace over war and hatred,
And this spiritual vision cannot be placated,
For those who suggest there is something better
In the external world of illusory pleasure,
I have found all I need is all within me
So I don’t need these people to interfere see.
Centuries of mankind’s failures
So at the end of all your political theories, where are we now, for all these ideologies you created the dead keep piling up, and no government has ever made a difference because every one of them is the same, the age old principles they apply all ways seem to frame, war control and division as well as fear and hate that defines their game, we need something much more different if things are ever going to change.
Tired excuses
It doesn’t matter how you grew up, don’t blame stuff you do on that environment, we all have the power to think for ourselves to change our narrative and the conditioning that we’ve been through, we all have the ability to discard what we’ve learnt is wrong, when we realise the damage it has done, we can all be our own authority we don’t have to devolve it to others who say, they can make decisions for you, to keep you safe, reject that theme, in yourself believe, stop making up excuses for how things have been, make changes now in the present for the now and the future that you want to see.
Governments need to fall in line
How can the people speak as one, then hear their government ignore them all when said and done, they are the representation of how the majority feel and should voice their views, even if it doesn’t to them, appeal. Government is the mouthpiece of oligarchs and multinational corporations, they are not the foundation of genocidal apartheid nations, they are no more than civil servants working for the people and not just the quarter that vote them in but for everyone that stands against what’s wrong and who demands a change, we can’t let minority governments go against what the majority say..
Stoicism
Stoicism is a worthy trait
Shown in those who resonate,
The strength of inner will
As well as the power,
To endure and conquer suffering
Beyond the realms that others can match,
Rooted in self belief and the knack,
To keep getting up when knocked down,
Stoicism is the strength of being
That when witnessed will astound,
Even the most cynical people that abound.
Life’s hard
I hate that I sense and see the awfulness of life
I could refuse to look and shut it out,
But I can’t because I feel and love life to much
And those who I share this life and journey with,
To do that would be to betray my feelings and humanity,
I choose to live life in it’s full reality without blinkers
Which is painful and it leaves its scars but each scar is an experience,
The pain teaches me lessons I need to learn from
And it teaches me the difference between right and wrong,
It helps me appreciate goodness and decency
As well as to feel gratitude that I feel love and kindness so deeply,
But that it also makes me realise what a blessing being spiritual is,
And why it’s important to stand up for the important things in life,
Not on anyone else’s terms or say so, but on my own beliefs and thoughts.
When will it end
In the face of brutality and slaughter
Strong people continue to live,
Not because they want to
But because they have to if they wish to exist,
And they do so knowing their doom
In spite of their now dry tears they cry,
Living with the horrors they witness
Of massacred and slaughtered bodies,
That lay among the rubble around them
And I ask, where is the humanity and compassion,
Where is the end to this? Must we endure
Until there are none left to mourn.
Hollow living
Imagine being devoid of empathy and caring
What would it be like to not know love,
To be deprived of the right of feeling human kindness
How could you suggest that a life like this is enough.
Old and new
Dwell back in time
Or embrace the future
These are choices we must make,
It’s not easy, some things are tried and tested
But sometimes new things are difficult to understand,
But older ways are sometimes slow and archaic
We need to find a balanced way,
To walk the path into the future
While not throwing things that work casually away.
Everyone has a right to exist
Everyone has a right to exist
When we don’t safeguard this,
Then we all become complicit,
And the blood will stain all of our hands
We can’t deny that we don’t understand,
We are all guilty of closing our eyes
And willing to be taken in by the lies,
So don’t pretend it’s not our business
Don’t try to pretend it is not on us,
We are all responsible and complict
For ignoring the blatant actual truth,
That doing nothing means the blame is on you
For not doing what you morally should do.
