Excuses? Why do we need them? Do we really?
It's the BLAME game.
When did religion become an excuse for safety?
I am ONE in ALL.
The world is many facades, one side being religion. Where does HUMANITY sit in all this?
Is fear of the void an excuse for cowardice?
When do we get to lift our heads, raise our voices and YELL out at a system that creates the machines of the world?
Does a time come in life when we stand on our own 2 feet, devoid of a tail and with a vertebrae- take all accounts into the consciousness and THEN -- break loose of the restraints?
The shackles that bind the weak and weary- are not for US!
They BIND the corrupt. They ENTRAP the criminals. They SNAKE around the desperate- They are not for us.
We stand ALONE. We stand for all that is fair and wise.
We release the wrath with a fury of a thousand depths.
We claw, we scream- we part the impossible into tiny FACTIONS of inconspicuous dust
"For Dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return"
The depths to which you SINK in your rise to the heavens, is the depth to which you will be snatched- after your deeds are counted- pie for pie- crown for crown- an eye for an eye.
All will be balanced in the end- so, do we wait? PATIENTLY?
Patience is the bylaw of greed -- the more you wait the more you want.
It escalates into a wanton despair -- till you can no longer stand the surge of the current -- pulling you down-under- into the swelling depths - of the bracken encrusted mind- that once was YOURS to begin with.
