A small writing based on Imagine. |
Imagine There's a path through time and space where one encounters No adversity and the life experience is pure Heaven. It's something we all desire, the Easy path. If one focuses internally, You will find that as you Try the various strategies and tactics, No one will emerage. It becomes a personal Hell as we bemoan the twists and turns of fate and fall Below the weight of the compound pressure that falls on Us. The high road Above Us seems Only populated by those whose blue Sky rants confirm what we Imagine, namely that for All of our perceived effort, The spoils of victory are reserved only for the People for whom destiny has selected for greatness, Living among those of us For whom, in the end, tomorrow will be no different than Today. I can Imagine that There's a better way. We are all told as children that No one stands in our way. Its easy to forget as we see Countries, en masse, mired in corruption, disease and despair. It seems impossible that I am special. Isn't it statistically impossible for me to make a difference? Hard facts abound and To fight logic seems an imprudent thing to Do. Nothing ventured, nothing lost is the cry as we seek To not Kill ourselves, mentally Or physically. Our mortality snowballs as those around us Die and we realize that For us to propser others must sufferAnd perish. No twisted masochist could design such a system where Religion is the crutch of the masses, Too unsure of their own ability to think that they cannot Imagine an exit from All the similar passages that appear to offer an exit from The resression to the mean that all People of the world are being funneled into, Living not to die, Life as someone else's means to an end, In sickness and in health, fighting someone else's war for someone else's Peace.... You and I hold the key. Come what May I Say that I'm afraid. How can I live A life as a Dreamer of dreams when all But my unconscious thoughts are telling me that I'm doomed? Not just in what I choose today, but in The very essence of the Only things I hold dear. One day I will die, and with me my Hope, my dream and my aspiration. Someday, but I hope, not today. You'll see me an easy target as I appear to Join the mindless masses and enjoy that fate that will be common to all of Us. And in The end the World Will continue to spin, the winners continue to win, everything will Be As it was before, less One. It is not just that I Imagine these things. No one is pulling my strings. My Possessions are as tangible as the frailty of my spirit. I do not have time for idle speculation, I cannot Wonder over choices. If there was ever a time, it is now. You Can claim that this is the act of a desperate man No longer in full possession of his faculties, but I assure you that I Need to make a move, For inactivity will render me uncredible. Greed is as essential as love for those of this planet, live Or die must cede to live and die. My Hunger for A truce with the Brotherhood of demons that haunt me is Of vital importance if I am to call myself a Man. I Imagine that of All The options present to me, this choice may burn many bridges. People judging me after the fact are not Sharing my state of mind, All the good and all The bad. I no longer have all the time in the World. You and I hold the key. Come what May I Say that I'm ready. I can live A life as a Dreamer of dreams. But nothing. I'm Not just ready to jettison the crutch, its done. The die is cast. Only today, only One day. I will die. Hope, dreams and aspirations perpetuate on the wings of a song. Someday I'll pray, but not today. You'll see me Join hands and ask that He give Us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as I forgive those that trespass against me. The end is near. The World Will certainly pass to the cosmic dust as it was before. Be. As not every man lives, note well that there is nothing stopping you from being the One. You may say I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one. -- http://resonantfreq.blogspot.com |
