I have often thought, that there is justice in this world
and it must be understood, and practiced, like a religion
that nobody knows, but yourself…
In a society of unbelief, we harm ourselves
and don’t realize we are doing it. The evil man, thinks, he is good,
and deserves all that he wants, and the good man doesn’t need anything—
not because he is content with nothing
but because he knows, he can get it.
There are laws that bring us together
and there are laws that separate us
Few, know the law
and even fewer practice it
Many stumble across it for a time, and can’t explain what happened
All worlds can be understood, when thinking ceases
Once you dissect a butterfly or snap a picture of the sunset
it’s gone, and you’re never going to get it back
Once you get a woman, and other women are interested in you
the temptation is to think, you understand all women
and all previous attitudes are sluffed-off.
Success does the same
You become a spokesperson for what you did to make money
and the world only remembers your name
seeing you, and your work, through a distorted lens
you start to correct your friends
you trade up
you clothe yourself in falsity
acting, like you care
There are wins and losses in your mind
and you lose every day, even if, you win every week
and the losses accumulate
like an accountant, trying to keep his business in the black
minimizing expenses, until, only barebones are left
The sunset is waiting
for anyone willing to reach for it, with flowers of orange, and wisps of black, promising other worlds
the mountain is waiting
for anyone willing to climb it, cold and silent
the woman is waiting
for the man
and the man doesn’t keep a ledger
or weigh the pros and cons
There are things to be done
and he is preparing to pay any price to do them
These tasks are his redemption
because they fulfill him
as he fulfills his destiny.
Sobering and therapeutic, I love this piece!

Hi. I enjoyed some of the truths you shared. Reads like the wisdom of Solomon in Ecclesiastes. Would have enjoyed it even more if I didn’t have to read around the ads and between the line spacing. But I’ll be back for more anyway. Thanks again.
