Analysis of Love and hate
Where/when how did life
ever learn to adapt, its reality?
Extend itself beyond the height and depth
Of its brief period of viability
In effort to overcome the obvious solution
A step from this moment of cascading breath of life
To its inevitable conclusion.
While some may try, to make a deal with the devil. Coerced, by ugly truths or evil lies.
Dance throughout the experience of life,
making unfathomable concessions.
When the very last moment
comes uninvited,
perhaps, as a welcome relief
after so many losing battles,
we gladly fold our hands
Or if by the futile gesture
we struggle to the bitter end
Perhaps, some extend
the battle beyond death
Others whimpering
tired of the unending fight
Bob and weave,
floored by the unexpected left hook
Followed, swiftly by the right.
Some fall asleep at the wheel
Looking down a road with no end in sight
Others, still victims of foolish pride
trying to fulfill a manifest destiny
to no end
never knowing how, or why.
Whether, by abject stupidity
Or by circumstantial suicide
Same ending, as the ticket is punched
And we line up
to enter the final stage
to be tried
Destination eternity
on the train all must ride
Pondering, whether
we must exit stage left or right
Does it really matter
if, we are to be continued?
To those who’re still asking...
Whether even the stars hear our prayers
Rest assured we are connected
By every heartbeat and each spark, between
As every star in heaven is counted
The very fabric of our being
Reborn into another life
As we leave, turn out the light
When our time is nigh,
our souls are ripe
No longer in imbued
with spark of light of life
To bend the rules outside the box
yet, duplicate the chance
for us to dance on past the elusive end
And yet, to have the consciousness
to utilize YX factor,
giving us the means to apply its opposite
its means extreme.
Existential connections, tapping the unseen.
Inconceivable corrections (long pause)
By the creator …for the love which is within
our creed/beginning clause…
NOT To narrow its focus purely…
to a need to survive
Self-preservation to use the EXT button,
to execute the final solution
to stretch the consciousness,
beyond this experience of life
To cross over to the next.
To return, once more
between words.
Unwritten in the text
To the endpoint of the next beginning
Start anew, to correct /reconnect
Erase the preceding, mistakes
Perhaps even change the rules/tools
Factors used in the equation
Of what we do to live.
To reconfigure the way we do the things we do
Make our greater selves, relevant
To the problems we must face with our fate
Reconfigured to another way
to get around/evade
The insurmountable,
begin to reproduce
Become able to respond to
Feel the need to nurture and protect
Ages beyond the coincidental tides
of circumstance
Which have arrived allowed this ability, we share
To become our time in life
Emerging into this present reality
As the tides of civilizations swirl and eddy
In the flow of empires, which rise and fall…
Impassioned people rise to the answer to its call
Kingdoms become young and strong
Ebb, just as the moon turned tides
Follow by the nature of their being
Life happens, through our every move
Still, energy exchange within
And without our need
To become the wolf, we feed
The power magnified falling into place,
Joins the battle as if personally invited
As the war of principalities rages on
Conflict based upon, factorizations between
Realities and our dreams
between overwhelming desires
and our abilities to stabilize
Hard fought gains in humanity
Exposing the fraud and the treachery
Which follows our collective pathways
Across infinity Throughout eternity
Energetic principalities, time space
Continuous inconsistencies coexist
in fiery reactions, counterintuitive factions
Two sides of the middle lost in the balance
Of the equation of life as if on cue,
We step to task even without a cue,
When asked we take a leap of faith
Seeking a path to the solution as the world
Is laid waste with lies
by those whose self-interest
can no longer coincide.
Losing touch with reality
As if the ocean's deep cries to touch the stars
Yet even, as the sun and stars
kiss the open waters
penetrating in time places
light may not even shine
even to their depth
as intense pressures expose beings
whose life path cancels others,
And the stars heat pulsations peak at its core
Creates a spark, brings forth the arc
Opening portals to other dimensions
No time for confusion, dispel the illusion
Your desire to spread hate explodes the
Myth of unity, creates unrest in the community
As if even to make “America” great, again
Makes you terminate all others for you to win
If you’ve taken the bait it’s too late/no escape
Enemies on every side bargaining life or death
Each day hopelessness grows.
A luxury we cannot afford. Now losing our peace
As the last breath of life trickles away
Left to die without spiritual relief…
Neither can we climb to a heavenly lair,
Relief having toiled many lifetimes
Only to fail again to find the Love
Before our soul at last released
To the unknown
In the end of our time in life.
Whether to show love
Or just pretend to be aligned
Walking towards the light
Of eternity
