a few simple questions

a few simple questions

A Poem by Nobody.

If I were to seek truth without bias or belief system; if I were able to set aside my racial identity, learned prejudices, gender biases, religious beliefs, political affiliations, familial traditions and teachings, socio-economic status, public educational programming, shared generational assumptions, entertainment and media reprogramming, corporate advertisement re-reprogramming, would I be able to find a kernel of truth in this massive tangle of greed and madness?

 

If I were willing to risk being cast out of my social circles, disappointing my family and friends, losing my monetary worth, enduring public and private persecution, being excommunicated from my church, being seen as a pariah by those who I value most, would I be able to understand the deeper meanings and underlying truths that have been buried and hidden beneath the grandiose lies of societal overseers who use these sacred tribal ties in a perverted manner, in some sinister concerted effort to control my intake and understanding of all of the data that I collect with my own senses, and interpret based on the same systems and measures provided to me by well meaning loved and trusted ones who have been duped into blindly trusting those manufactured and manipulated systems provided to them by the aforementioned dark overseers of this world?

 

I feel dirty. What does it take to get clean? What personal sacrifices must one make to simply become a body of pure information in this tainted world? How much boiling pain and frigid anger must one endure to find a pre mortem salvation that has not been tampered with or reconstructed by liars, murderers and thieves who have no care or consideration but for their own lusts for power, money, thrills and comforts?

 

If I become fearless and relentless in my search for greater understanding, then can I wipe the eons and miles of accumulated bullshit from my infant eyes and stare into naked reality just for one blessed moment?

In a word, yes. But then again No. Bcause by the time you reach that particuar Nirvana the goal posts will have moved again. Don't you know goal post moving is the new religon?
It becomes harder and harder to find such a well written, (for want of a better word) rant as this in this space we inhabit by the will of those who live at the centre of the universe, (apparently).

No you can't because you have to ask yourself "a few simple questions." to let go of your ego that prevents you from seeing the naked truth you must do it; not question it.

Good rant, enjoyed it.

yeah man...dedicating our whole lives to making it real.
No seriously, I don't know, its all a bit heavy for me. I just try to look for the good in others and focus on my own faults, thats the only part I can change. We dont see the world as it is. We see it as we are. (so they say) I like your little sign on your author...About... where it says 'I am an uglier version of you. Hope this doesnt sound like I am having a go at you, I know where you are coming from. Thanks.
