"freewill" poems
We are young, but much older We are loved, though only by a few of us We remain restless We watch out of our windows envious at success stories Those who have written chapters of promise and wealth We are the world's forgotten children-who once played in the backyard of our land and kingdom and who swam in oceans of eternal youth Strangers rob us blind-and we know it We try to convince ourselves that we are strong, but we shiver clothesless We know what is wrong, but we do it anyway School failed us Society has ***** and stolen our identities And we watch our neighbors die without saying goodbye Our friends have long left us The church we grew up in is now just a cold, abandoned house; the ghosts never leave They lived in another lifetime, but we all stay here for safety   So carry me in your arms and hold me tight Let us take what is yours- you are little mice and we prey on you like hawks We want what was ours We love the excitement at the expense of others We become our own victims and kidnap our freewill. We learn, though, and see our shadows in the dark The silhouettes fool others into believing we are bigger than what we are We leave them painted on the walls so we are always remembered The goal is to stain something so deep onto the world that we immortalize ourselves, thus we are not vanished along with our bodies

The Happy, Sad, and Unemployed
Like a thorn in the side twists, turns, shifts, thugs at my pride, who am I and why? Forget to be, forget to try. Sigh, deny and try, oh try, to find out who am I? Struggle to reach. Struggle to come to grip with reality. You see all these expectations get laid on me, I cant seem to find my feet. Even in finding my feet, defeat. Defeating my mind and steeped and bleeding, I'm blind and beat. I'm beating the blinds, the street, it limits the finds and eats, it eats at my mind. But rise to my feet, I will. Beat my way through, I do. The passing days, they may get all hazy. But I got a vision, I do. Clear as unmuddied water, that vision peaks and from the merky pool hope leaks. Not made that of odour which reeks, rather perfume which speaks to those bold, brave, not weak. Who on top of a mountain sits and seeks and stands on the ocean before they may sink and know their song well before they dare speak. Hope keeps us hooked. Pain gives us drive. For that, I will swallow my pride. My dignity beat, battered and bruised. But my reputation in tact. My strenght unmatched. Unmask myself I will. Through this treacherous journey, I shall grace salvation, to find my inner will. And with journey abound to destination unknown leaving that hope, strenght and will for events which have thrown light into the tunnel. Illuminating the stone which sits on the temple of freedom and soul, spirit, freewill, autonomy, suddenly realisation that still ... Still I am me.

Embrace Freewill
Churches and cathedrals filled with paralegal misfits, its just sick how beautiful nations can come to this. Bowing down on knees just to see a better view, quoting a bunch of words or two, you lie sins still comes in multiples. I know because I've seen many clips being load, and triggers pulled to explode flesh just to expose the soul. You wash your faces with holy water, then when service is over your back on corners bringing wars such as black on black slaughter. Selling dopamine to fends hellacious scenes seems to be clear to see hell-raiser dreams I seem to intervene, contradictions to competitions, imperfect visions, natural destruction I can't believe, a deep pit I can't perceive. Arab stores selling crack, Coors and ****** ****** Nobody scores in this world of imperfections. A twisted method and deal we keep our lips sealed, and peace is killed all because of the choices of freewill.

Freewill
our lives are all lotteries. a game of chance, at best. we have all succumbed to it, gambled our freewill away. to those who haven't, who are still unchained, it calls *sit down at the table, let me deal you a hand* read the fine print young man, for once you sit, you may never leave

This is not really a poem; just an insightful realization of mine We have this mainstream perception of human life—that we grow to freely love the things we desire to love. We are biologically-inclined to conform to the intuitive notion of 'freewill'. But what is supposed to be imprinted in our minds turns out to be no more false than the number zero being larger than one; in actuality, we are nothing but biological clockwork confined to obey the laws of nature. Every atom in our body, every neuron streaking in our nerves, and every step we take, our body does so, for the laws of nature require it to. Our actions are as predetermined as the orbits of the planets, and paradoxically, it is as probabilistic as the location of an electron in its quantum orbit. We don't act out of our own will; we act out of necessity, for the laws of nature require us to behave the way we should be behaving. They call it Scientific Determinism. Disturbing, isn't it? And what does that make out of freewill and love? Simply put: freewill is an illusion, and love is the sweetest lie ever conjured up in this Universe. Even so, we still choose to believe in both. Why? Because we're humans; we long to live our life with a purpose, even if it takes for us to make up our own.

Determinism, Freewill, and Love.
The lonely little shepherd boy Sat on the moonlit hill Basking in the glory Of the thrill Of his first **** First to die was father Aborted in his prime Next to die was mother For ignoring all the signs Cut them into pieces Tossed them in a trunk Had a cry Waved goodbye Until the ******* sunk And sunk they did There in that trunk Erasing all Boy's fear And After it was over Life’s mist began to clear Saw his future beckon him *"Hurry now be quick time is of the essence we cannot miss a trick. Gather up all your belongings Meet me down the lake. There are things we need to talk about. Things we need to contemplate”* Boy was pretty nifty Packed up all his bits Raced down to the rendezvous But left behind his wits Along the way Boy was plagued With demons of self doubt *Whisper Whisper Whisper* Boy could not block them out Wormed their way into his mind Boy was fit to burst Panic overcame him Boy now thought that he was cursed Reached deep into the hold all Pulled out his father’s gun Placed the barrel in his mouth Killed his parent’s son The lonely little shepherd boy Died on that moonlit hill Is there really such a concept as the notion of freewill?

Freewill
There is so much darkness in this world. So much evil, selfishness, feel good , and greed. So much abuse, murdering, and **** as well. So many people are hurting these days we live in. So many people are blaming it on a God that loves us. Because we do not understand , why its happening. Well the best answer that I can think of is freewill. He gives us all Freewill to do whatever we choose. The evil demons gets into people minds speaking to them. To do the evil that you see in this dark world we live in. God does protect people to a certain point but still there is Freewill.

Freewill
Freewill Rush There are those who think that life Has nothing left to chance A host of holy horrors To direct our aimless dance A planet of playthings We dance on the strings Of powers we cannot perceive The stars aren't aligned Or the gods are malign Blame is better to give than receive You can choose a ready guide In some celestial voice If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fears And kindness that can **** I will choose a path that's clear I will choose free will There are those who think that They've been dealt a losing hand The cards were stacked against them They weren't born in Lotus-Land All preordained A prisoner in chains A victim of venomous fate Kicked in the face You can't pray for a place In heaven's unearthly estate You can choose a ready guide In some celestial voice If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fears And kindness that can **** I will choose a path that's clear I will choose free will Each of us A cell of awareness Imperfect and incomplete Genetic blends With uncertain ends On a fortune hunt That's far too fleet You can choose a ready guide In some celestial voice If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fears And kindness that can **** I will choose a path that's clear I will choose free will Songwriters: GEDDY LEE, ALEX LIFESON, NEIL PEART

Freewill
If all were created, before a finger lifted, all'd be done... Before a single word be said, Every creeping crawling thing'd be dead. No speaking laws, or slaughtered alters, Or sacrificing ****** daughters. No ill lessons, of omnipotence, Omnipresence or deviance, The vastness of life and time, Are much too large, to be defined, By one who's greatness greater than all, To know we're here, or rule at all, It's too far fetched to believe it's true, There's one above, all around, watching you. And say a god of sorts is real, Say christ is god what would you feel, To know his book is spoken true, To be applied in all you do, Word for word and verse by verse, Forever there to be rehersed, With jealousy and angry might, His reasons are, beyond our sight, His omnipotence we can't define, His intelegence, beyond our mind, ****** **** and slavery, plagues and death, so hard to see, The fact he made this all for us, From each bright star, and nucleus, just to cast us in a pit, A fiery hell, a suffrage. None of it, It makes no sense, And think most don't believe in chance. Now close your eyes, and just believe, Blindly follow each page you read, For faith is something you must have, To not see past this broken path, Of lies and hopes in false intent, It's god who man came to invent. Here's a law he wrote himself, One of ten, to show us help, And thou shalt worship one alone, But now there's christ who claims his thrown. A contradiction from the start, O how this truth broke my poor heart, He created all in just six days, A sabbath rest I'm so amazed. A day to gods a thousand years, So look at this, And shed no tears, He made us in all knowing ways, But so confused within just days, He changed his mind, his laws and story, Then sent one down to claim his glory, Then Lucifer, what was the point, His purity, god did anoint, Then jealousy and pride bestode, But then again god had forebode, Let alone freewill was not, An angel had no choice to taunt, Made to fill specific needs, The devil had no other deeds, God knows all, from start to end, So if he's real, he's not a friend, He doesn't love, or know all, Or have salvation, when we fall. A deity he is not, Especially with how he taught. There're better ways to plan a path, Simplicity is easy math, But who am I, I'm just a man, Created by his clumsy hand.

I walk alone along the street, faces blur, I just see feet As I push my way out through the crowd, I’m not here, I’m falling down. Breathing out, breathing in, Dark and black through my head spin. I walk alone full of despair, some people turn, some people stare No-one can help me, some have tried, to ease the pain the tears inside. The tightness grips my heart, the pain Will never leave; my life’s in vain. I walk alone my love has died, a cruel and twisted turn in life. My lips are numb, my feet are lead Please someone help me clear my head. Despair and rage, I stumble down Someone helps me off the on the ground. I walk along this busy street, some heads turn, some others greet, My mouth is dry I cannot speak, the dreadful words I must repeat “He’s dead. He died. My child has gone War has taken my brave son.” I walk alone, freedom is won, in this land where I belong But others do not have the choice, freewill to act or sound their voice We tried to help, protect, survive, but is their hope worth all our lives?

I Walk Alone
A faith we fancy is that freedom is fabricated and forged for us by our forefathers who fought and forced their foes to forfeit their feud. They fended fiercely and defended fearlessly a fictionalized fact, freedom, filtered with fire and flame. A few fell to be famed fellows of the future while a fraction of the fraternity are farewelled faceless. All those frigid flashback brought-forth what we framed and fantasized as freewill and forbade freaks to falsify our fascination. It all falters as we fathom that freedom didn't fade ,but w/o a fons-et-ergo, a foolish fairytale foretold for us to falsely follow a formula for the foremen to fortify the fake façade of freedom while we flounder and they float. And if we flush and fracture their folderol, we are flagged as flagitious, frauds and fellons. For the feasibility of freedom is a mere ****** Fuckery to **** us.

freedom of a Fool
A waking moment, when eyes first open. Like a newborn experiencing sight for the first time. Blinding curiosity illuminating a fight for understanding. Pure at first, as each new sensation overwhelms the senses. As each new day comes and goes, turning into weeks, months, and years; shaping our perspectives. We slowly lose that sight we once had, a forceful forging becomes of us. Is who we are simply what we've seen? It seems as each clip of life is impressed upon us, we become less individual in the since of freewill, and moreso as a carbon copy of impulses and reactions. Lessons of life are gained after rigorous testing of wills, fates and virtues. Mistakes as high as moutian peeks can be reached in moments, Whilst the treck down seem to never end. Lost deep in a forest that repeats itself, over and over leading back to that peak. Within these trials of heartache, triumphs, and shame. When does redemption come to save our souls? An awaking moment, when eyes first open. Like a newborn experiencing sight for the first time. Blinding curiosity illuminating a fight for understanding. An understanding beyond the senses, beyond what can be seen and felt thru this battle life creates. A struggle for redemption for what has been seen and done, in the moments before these eyes had true vision. A redemption that is dreamt with open eyes under sunny skies, and soundly under starlight; but it seems sometimes as tho, no matter the destination desired for that clean slate in life,   I find myself fixed, like a switch on the wall. As tho we can be empowered, only to be turned off. Is the desire for redemption caused by switching on, and rewarded by flipping back off with oblivious eyes?

Current events are conducive with nonchalant seeming pace When future springs surprises with time I will learn to face Cheery is current subsistence and freewill so far I propound Confines once start stifling I may break newer ground Perceptive mind is still active infinite inspirations all about If my illusions start dissipating new pastures I would scout Resources are just adequate for me to earn daily bread In days of desolate penury will take what fate’s spread Traversed I have distances to seek serenity for my mind Treks in future if improbable then peace within I will find Environs are lush and verdant their magic for one to behold As autumn spreads it’s magic with different shades of gold Realism is a confusing passage, through many an abyss and ridge Each nuance to be vied aptly while coming to cross any bridge

Ephemeral Passages
Village rain that floods the aqueduct bypasses the dam and reaches all of the town houses. Village fire springs from the soul burns the people and ultimately cleanses skin of sin. Village residents, husbands and spouses. Village residents, tiny little children. Should they Drown or Crisp.

Choices, freewill and such
With absolute freewill a trigger is pulled and the same fingers can caress a lover. There is something deeply amiss with Mankind a thirst for death masquerading as life giving.

Euthanasia Vs unrequited love
If there's a Light; should we be following it? Or should we choose to stay wandering blindly in the darkness. If there's a Hand; should we be holding it? Or should we choose to walk stumbling and falling over rocky ground. If there's a Hope; should we be finding it? Or should we choose to mourn wailing in despair and trying to see through drowning eyes. If there's a Peace; should we be preaching it? Or should we choose to stress raising fists and gnashing teeth. If there's a Blood; should we be redeemed? Or should we choose to deny running along the smooth road and bear no regret. If there's a Grace; should we be carried? Or should we choose to carry on trying to control, yet sinking deeper into the sea. if there's a Love; should we be loving? Or should we choose to hate spitting fire and carrying murderer's hearts. If there's a Way... should we take it? If there's a Truth... should we believe it? If there's a Life.. should we seek it? Two paths. Two choices. Two Places. One End. One Life. One Saviour. Who was, and is, and is yet to come.

Freewill
An acclamation of perversity Or the incarnation of independence Incurable freedom will not suffer The incursion of righteousness For fulfillment cannot be appointed A rebellion of self awareness Unites against servitude What is perceived to be A proclamation of war On virtue itself Was a choice of freewill And open defiance against Restraint and confinement Liberty always has been And always will be A cause worth fighting for © Christopher Chronister.

"Aspiring Moods"
Breathe Steady 10.29.20 go forth then, unto God and his Glory, abounding and rejoicing in the power and peace of that holy dwelling place. abide, therefore, forever in the Love and in the Light. -sayeth the channelings, sayeth the distorted mask, sayeth that through which sound passes.- sons and daughters of the Earth who bathe in the waters drawn of love/light/wisdom in the bathhouse of the higher densities and inner planes. Bath waters of golden white light, brilliant in a radial pouring forth of tangible understanding and freewill. scarcely can such energy be described in so cumbersome a language, charming as it endeavors to be. underwhelming must the emotions evoked be in comparison with the All Glory of experience of that which is spoken of. the death ****** of the fire-bird serves as its own inoculum and womb; two ends of a terminus in polarity. I activate in order to combine, dwindling dread. I seal the upswing of trans-dimensional laughter, with the everyday tone of exodus. I am guided by the advent of thermals. -I am a solar riptide, surf me- and then time slowed way down. the semi trucks were like great sea mammals with their whale calls and slow passage by the flanks. “Who are you?” “I am the Kalachakra.” “Did you hear that?” (hushed tones, hands cover the phone.) I was quite close to the illusion of Death. The opaque specter, shaking and rumbling the very fabric of the matrix about me. wavering not within the sinkhole of indifference lest my terror turn manifest. I’ve risen from a pillar of salt, I’ll rise from the embers next.

"Look up, meteors!" Closed eyes, one wished Heads lifted,twinkles falling Slowly in the mid-night sky, there… All fading.. One’s mind which predicted, Scene so vivid, noticed untimely. Never it is, that eyes would see sparkles of light above the seas Who yelled? gratitude given Without such, truth is hidden "Now look!" and twice you did. (Never a freewill, or is?), “Look!” One wished, someone yelled It’s never one that did… In light years they were burning But here, it is smoothing All is none, if no one said Wishing well would never spell Go back in time, now reflect if stars do fall, when and where?
