Lost Freedom

The right-wing nuts
Have an obsession
With freedom

Alleged lost freedom
To discriminate

And to hate
In the name
of the Lord

Freedom to kill
Those they see
As demonic monsters
Out to take their freedom

'heart'

Follow one heart
They say
Do the right thing

Only problem
Is that finding
The right thing

Is hard to do

So many possible
Bad choices
In Life

}06/22/2023-'hollow'

Hollow be thy name
Tho will be done
In earth
And in heaven

Hard to follow
The teachings

To walk the path
Of righteousness
In a world

Filled with chaos
Fear and hate

 

06/23/2023-'discover'

It is hard
To discover
The truth

In a world
Of fake things
Fake Reality
Is all around us

Love just another
Fake thing
Designed
to deceive

'That affection'

In a world
Awashed in lies
Deceptions

Fake things
Deep fake
Alternative facts

That affection
Is just another
Reflection

Of the past
Delusions
Masquerading
As the truth

seashore

Sam Adams
Walking down
The street
Towards
the sea shore

In the distance
A storm is brewing
Lightning strikes

The air flashes
Thunder thundering

Air pregnant
With heavy rain

The rain falls
Like the tears
Of God

the old is gold

In a world
Filled with lies
Deceptions

Deep fake
And fake things

Sometimes
The old is gold

The old ways
Showing us
The path

To an uncertain
Unknowable future

As the present
Fades away
Into distant memories

Contemplating reality
One needs to know this

That there is no good
There is no evil
There is no reality

There is no God
Nor devils either
Everything Is nothing
but the null
Set of the universe
