Everyone.... it is time to show you my poem.
A JOURNEY
Just as a child I journeyed
Eyes of wonder, in this land of miracles
Clothed in mystery and beauty, life was here,
I looked for experience and understanding.
Time as passed
The landscape looks different now
Just as light throws a shadow,
So life’s beauty is merely a veil of deceit
From flower to insect animal and man
The force in nature is cruel and must have its way
So many engulfed just in living, so few asking why
As one who reaches out to try to touch his own image in the glass
So as been my quest for life’s meaning
where do these meditations lead me
Nowhere, I exist then, but only to die
The earth spins silently in space
So the great cycle of life moves endlessly forward
From dust to dust ashes to ashes
Death controls the living and leaves it without purpose
It brings no meaning except to perpetuate life
The ancients made god in their ignorance
In their own image, they made god.
Masses bow down to the image, hoping for something better
Power is endowed to those who continue the lie.
This I have seen and experienced
I almost envy ignorance, for it does not see the futility
Can one be truly content in this land
Where life is taken in the blink of an eye,
where some are left begging for bread
None can boast then, only in their luck.
Life is a game of chance, a roll of the dice
where you are born and into what form.
Life force is irresistible, it pushes forward
When it was born, it looked beyond itself
Is its ultimate goal, just to continue to be?
Will this ever be known, will I ever be free.
