Thoughts on April Fools Day 2012

Mirage 3/30/2012


People see what they want
Because they lack inner strength
The vision of the mind
And the guidance of the soul
That searches for the truth
Hidden among the lies.

The pendulum swings
Back and forth
But the truth stays the same
Like the voice of the spirit
Burning in our heart.

Fools will be distracted
Like moths to a flame
Used, abused and wasted
Like a shovel
In a hole.

Always dependable
And always useful
Easily manipulated
To ask for more.

A wise man watches the hands
Because distraction is death
Blindsided
In an instant
Dead and gone.

While one hand
Grasps for attention
The other seeks to murder
The end justifying the means
To plunder and kill.

Now you see it
And now you don’t
Fudging the numbers
And flushing the brain.

The sleight of the hand
Hides many a theft
While they eyes of many
Are blinded by dreams.

Do you see?
And do you know?
The face behind the name
And the truth behind the lies.

But if you look closely
You can see what they mean
Inaction and silence
Just as deadly as words.

Behold the strutting fools
On precipice of destruction
Up and over
Dumb as dust.

Connect the dots
And fill in the spaces
Because to know
Is to understand
The reason and the cure.

The soulless will never know
And evil shall devour its own
Just in time
Just like we knew.
