If you are happy,
you're in no position to judge those who are not.
Likewise,
if you are not happy,
who are you to judge those who are?

They, who walk all over others
are always suprised to find themselves toppling
when the treadupon manage to drag themselves out from below them.

If you are among the treadupon,
as we all are, in one sense or another,
seek to assist they who find themselves toppling
despite it all.

We're all in this together.
Tread not upon others, nor allow thyself to be tread upon.
"Neither a borrower nor a lender be."

Seek not
to put thyself ahead of others,
nor to put thyself behind any other,
but, rather, to establish
that every individual and group
resides firmly upon an edge
of consciousness-
of transcendence-
of philosophy-
of experience-
of happiness-
of progress-
of Life.

That is the path we,
as the Human species,
must take if we are to quell the sadistic demon
known only as "Humanity,"
and transmute that energy into something we've long since forgotten-
if indeed we ever knew it at all.

This is a challenge
to cooperate and transcend cultural bias.
This is a call to action,
and that action is an end to intentional war;
political, economic, religious, social, and personal.

This is a plea
for us to seek edification within ourselves and everyone.

Rise to it.

listen to it.

Empathize.

Don't stop until it's done,
and, then:

continue

Standing here,
In the battering storm.
My heart corrupt,
Fighting to hold on.

Across the ocean,
Where you watch.
Your hand extends,
Reaching for my touch.

Your love is stronger,
Than this weakening storm.
I feel like holding on.

My hand extends,
Entwining with yours.
The storm ends,
And I'm in your arms.

I love you..
It's stronger than any storm.
You help me hold on.

What ails us from knowledge
the flaw of being wised
is having less and less
things to be surprised!

Why bamboo groves creak
occurs ghost light
puppets can speak
stars fall at night!

How sun paints a rainbow
moths can make silk
summer sky is aglow
with whitely flowing milk!

Seems such a loss
death of ignorance
by effect and cause
hardly making sense!

One of the great joys of Life
is doing what One is told can't be done-
thinking about what One is told not to-

I enjoy finding out first-hand
what's up with our reservations
then scrutinizing rationalizations.

I, for one,
refuse to respect mere appeals to authority
without some sort of prerequisite validation:

For far too long
have we gone along with being told
we must hold such toxic philosophies
so very close to our Hearts and Souls
by what is eventually revealed to be
rather disingenuous authority.

"If your Spirit feels a little sick,
just keep suffering through it:
that means it's working.
That's how it's been set up.

If you can't stomach it,
we made these pills for that.
Though, they'll cost you.
The price One pays for biochemical placification is steep.

Side-effects include but are by no means limited to:
a loss of health, wealth and even parts of your Self;
but please don't worry. It's for the greater good..
Don't you want to be under control?
After all, it is all you've ever known,"

quoth the Infallible
as they **** People dry
even in broad daylight-
body, mind, and bank account-
for their own economic, political, and social sustenance.

What is that if not a form of a form of vampirism?
The infected bites on our necks are metaphysical.

Demons in Prophetic clothing,
but I guess they dress for success.

See,
I try to look for Light
where others say there's only Darkness,
but I also see Darkness
where others see only Light.

Interpreting Adversity as Opportunity
works wonders for creative problem solving;
learn how to entice your Imagination.
It will pursue things on it's own if you let it.

Your intellect will thank you for the playmate.
