(for you)

few make it to the end
to final resolution;
dissolution, Infinity,
Realisation – there is only ONE continuous Reality.

it becomes a betting game
to see how long
tentative explorers,
attracted by the REAL promise of (fulfilment) bliss,
are able to endure the tortures of confronting themselves,
their fears and imposed limitations --
the most horrifying fears are buried deep within ourselves.

Yet, as is known by the wise And nefarious,
everyone seeks release, (real) Liberation,
and the quickest, safest means to that end is Love,
a widely known fact.

Therefore the denizens among us that would enslave
and lord over the rest use every means at their disposal
to bombard us with lies in the hope that Fear and loathing
displace the natural tendency to selfless Love;
from the pulpits, to the seats of government
‘all we hear is fear!'

What do these deceivers offer as a substitute
for the natural tendency in every being to Love?
Perhaps hedonism, transitory sensual stimulation,
narcissism, acquisitiveness and of course a burgeoning ego
to carry all that useless shit – me, me, me –
‘everything revolves around me!’

However, as Love (the source of all Life) has been rejected
FEAR begins to eat away the mind and body
and corrode the very soul.

[Discriminate.]

Love Unites and Heals, fear divides and kills;
how easy it becomes to identify the evil
that lurks within/among us!

[Healing is only an embrace away;
Peace.]
