Friction

How deeply the lie was conceived

in a gospel of faith and ignorance

How easily the people were deceived

to separate through intolerance

 

Truth is powering the commotion

A hunger reminds the desire

Reaction is empowering the emotion

Friction sends us the fire

Who will burn their skin

Lying on life’s beach

Who will turn within

and practice what they preach

Who will feed the flames

Who decides the names

Fear

Ego

Pride

They have a book…

the ghost-writer’s lied

Concealed in symbols

Hidden in signs

Revealed in geometry

and between the lines

In passages

are messages

In shape

In colour

In sound

“Man, Gnow Thyself”

so ‘Self’ is found

 

Who can see

beyond the distractions

What will be

the cost of our inactions

Annihilation of the Way

Co-creation every day

YOU DECIDE!
