Enlightenment



Enlightenment
-
Is merely a word
-
That describes
-
Becoming aware
-
Of a situation
-
We have occupied since birth
-
(If we had bothered to notice)

The last dinosaur



The

Dinosaur
-
Stood all alone
-
The last
-
The rest all turned to stone
-
It sang
-
Until the sun went down
-
Then fell asleep

-

Upon the ground

The Time has come..


Blindfolded
By our own perception
-
Unaware
Of the forces within
And
Around us
-
Focused
Upon primitive goals
-
Generating
Continual conflict
-
Wanting Everything
That we need not
-
Looking
Always for answers
-
Never
Seeing that which stares us in our face
Every moment of our conscious being
-
Small wonder
Mankind is confused
-
Small wonder
Mankind knows not how to behave
-
Large wonder
Mankind still manages to exist
-
We act like children as we play out our lives
-
Oblivious
To that shimmering haze
Of energy
Space and Time
From which we are all formed
-
The time has come
For us to look around
-
Time
For us to face the truth
-
The time has come
For us to know the stage we are upon
-
Time
For us to recognise the forces that support our world
-
The time has come
For us to understand exactly what we are
_
Time for us to Grow Up

We all have to die


The greatest barrier to living our lives to the full is
-
The denial of our own death
-
We all have to die
-
Just live life - while you have it

Lucretius



But only nature's aspect and her law
-
Which, teaching us, hath this exordium:

Nothing from Nothing ever yet was born

RACE & CREED


On Earth
-
Regarding the Question of RACE..
There is only one Race
-
The Human Race
-
Regarding the Question of CREED..
There is only one Creed
-
We are all
The Children of our Universe
-
So why then all the discord?
-
Why then all the killing?
-
It is quite simply due to the fact
-
That Man
-
Despite being an incredibly
-
Clever
-
Animal
-
Is also
-
Unfortunately
-
An incredibly
-
Stupid
-
Animal
