Synchronicity 11/22/2013

Not everything makes sense

And the days often drag by

Uneventful and wasted

But with wisdom we learn

That everything has a reason.

I was born for this time

And it is more than an honor

Even if it is hard

And even if I suffer.

Some events are hard to miss

And they can galvanize a nation

But others are so small and incremental

That almost no one notices at all. 

Daily life goes on

As we get up for school or work

Punctuated by either happiness

Or horror. 

Nothing lasts forever

And how quickly we forget

As we lose our moorings

And drift out to sea.

We shy away from uncomfortable truths

And prefer instead

To fight the easy battles

That waste our time

And punish the good. 

Evil always survives

And patiently waits

Waiting for us to become overconfident

And distracted.

Letting us wander

Far from home

Until we think we are immune

And pretend

That all is well. 

Sometimes our true enemies

Are not who, we think they are

Close as a friend

Or confidant.

Watching every move

Opportunistic and cunning

Without a conscience

Or a soul.

Cut off and cut down

Split open and dissected

Just before

And just because.

We make fun of myths

But believe in a fable

Wise enough to know better

But too cowardly to act.

It’s not about being better

Or worse

But it is about finding the courage

To think and speak. 

Yes we are different

Aberrant and apart

But there are worse things

Than losing

And being alone.

Long after

Time has lost its meaning

We shall know and understand

What it all meant

And where it all leads.

Cry out the truth

Even if it hurts

For all of us will die

But only a few ever live

And learn.
