Bora born

The tale of two trends _

Our thoughts spirit born, tell tales of tells senses

load through patterned desires, fixed beliefs new friends.

Mortal beings with organs of choice, master mind

internal dialogue the gut silently

tells all, pay attention dear ones, relax.



Timeless temporal bodies nestle like Russian

dolls sealed inside an outer skin of matter.

The slow descent into our mortal embrace

has an end game pressed through creation's background

hearts harden in correspondence, granite like.



Your thoughts are everything they always have been

your spirit sensing the rose through mortal minds.

In a world of sigil majik lurk backgrounds

of creation, the materialising

influence builds within mind to tempt which way.



Those trends foretold firm up pathways split in two

borderland fence sitters no longer keep score.

Tricked out moral norms invert the status quo

in a topsy turvey world with no compass

where every good deed deserves to be punished.



People with hearts on sleeves, treasures of goodness

in truth speculate on the pace of it all.

A twenty billion dollar a year bagman

feeds social media bots with AI's push

toward total control of woke ignorance.



Love brings up anything so unlike itself

opposite poles for life's raw true dividends.

Extreme left vs right confound with straight line

mind traps until you stand on freedom circles

to show they both share the same wretched disease.



So simple a child senses the pathway where

love binds to inner joys' complemental bliss.

Seekers of pleasure run like hares to hunt with

hounds in acceptance skewed by entitled rot

their super highway signed what's in it for me.



So it goes and it goes, a bit of this a

bit of that, having it both ways and then some.

An lgbt alphabet soup of desires

lead the way to BPD's ultimate prize

the heart/mind suck ups of disillusioned youth.



Humans journey through this living world midway

between the heavens and the hells, such is life.

A mortal existence allows us to choose

with free will to look up to our creator

or down to the hells of those who've gone before.



The midnight special takes you home on your

last ride to spirit worlds we have never left.

A timely reposè, then warm hellos to greet

with do tell's of how your life was lived, inner

motivations so they say, not what you've done.
