Truth Telling


Life always brings something challenging

To explore and explain,

To find meaning and purpose

Seeking awareness in knowing.

But, just when one gets comfortable . . .

I wish I knew

If I should awaken you

Or if it is I who is asleep,

Some of both is stirring deep.

So open the doors of perception

As our time closes in upon us.

I never knew I’d be watching

What ends for humanity.

I can see the decline

With just a brief summary of history

Along with the other mystery

Which is human creativity.

It seems the victory

Will bring extinction

Without distinction

Without assimilation in reality.

There is no future for a human mentality

Held prisoner in belief’s history.

And though I see it to be

Something of meaning’s failure

It remains a kind of moral pathology

Coming unglued in behavior’s ancient neurology.

Sooo . . . many lay buried

In the common ground of different beliefs

Warring at the foundations of each

In another fantasy out of reach

Until in the End

When each has killed the other

In murder disguised in morality

Believing themselves to have died for Divinity.

Saving the Human’s time

Has come to the end of its Destiny.

All meaning in Divinity’s fantasy is blind.

Most are not so much unable

As unwilling

To look with integrity’s vision at what is real.

Thus causing the death of meaning

In self importance twisted.

Only the emptiness of the self is real

When all is counted.

How do we restore meaning into vitality?

I can understand the dreams of believing,

What I can’t accept is this:

How can believing replace knowing

And fail to accept what is true?

It is believing that has not kept up with reality.

But never mind,

Nature is telling

Not asking.

Knowing is believing’s ending.
