The Western world embraces the
art of suffering
just as the Eastern doctrine consumes the
art of war
…we are organized animals.

The natural world contains enough
peaceful chaos for all of us
and still
we organize pain
perhaps
so that we are able also to keep organized
our successes
…superficial risk
…artificially created cause and effect

A children’s song once claimed
    Life is but a dream
but dreams only exist for the common person;
over time, we have created a game,
one with no end
one with promises
synthetic purpose
superfluous commitments

To fit within the walls of society
we must always play
achieving victories along the way
to satisfy the appetite of inherent greed
knowing in the end
no one wins
for we are all spirit
and the flesh always dies.

The truth might not feel good
however
it is the only road to the freedom
of the soul
