The dead eyes fly 

Into the great unknown 

Blind to the truth 

Of ancient relics 

And eternal truth.   

There is only one you

And there is only one me

Each life a miracle

Against infinite odds.  

We have a mind

And inhabit a body

Tethered to our our soul

Working through an avatar

For the here and the now.   

The spirit comes

And heals our wounds

Inspiring us with possibilities

And limitless love. 

There are no promises

And there are no guarantees

Not in this world

Rotten to the core.

First comes the action

And then comes the result

Cause and effect

Effort and goal.

The action should determine the outcome

Or the action means nothing at all

And if our choices do not matter

Then our soul has no purpose.   

The good are sacrificed

And the beasts are released

Running wild in the streets

And gnashing their teeth. 

This morning, I got up

And then I went to work

But even though I smile

I have not forgotten

A single thing.  

I know what it feels like

To be attacked

And forgotten

Rejected and passed over

For the worst reasons of all.

Yes, they left me behind

Empty handed and alone

Publicly humiliated

And abandoned.

My name covered over

And forgotten

Purposely rearranged

And unacknowledged.

It is no accident

And it is no mistake

The arrogance of hateful men

Petulant and Immature.

Behold the apple cart

Full of golden fruit

Personally gained

From favors

And deceit.

If you want to win

Then you must turn it over

Even if you suffer

And even if you lose.
