The Performance

As actors on the grand global stage;
a backdrop change with each act;
we have scripts; are ready to engage;
interchanging illusions with fact.

Much mediocrity plays out on stage;
actors often forgetting their lines;
still, doing their very best to engage;
by plays in life, all reality’s defined.

Puppet Master

Who determined this life, before it began;
created someone such as me;
devised a scheme and laid out a plan;
before I was able to see?

What if a mind made up, who I’m to be;
coloring my hair and dotting my eyes;
decided precisely the height of me;

Reality's Masterpiece

Reality’s an infinite, eternal landscape;
in which, all lives reside;
a house, from which, none can escape;
even those who’ve tried.

We currently live in one of its rooms;
a separate reality, it seems;
tho we think, past and future, looms;
they’re a part of present’s

Imagine

What are the limits to what we imagine;
the boundaries to all we conceive;
and more than that; what can we fathom;
all the limits to what we’ll believe?

How is it reality came about;
did such a thing always persist?
Or was it created from the inside out;

Freedom

Freedom is God’s ultimate gift;
where we must always be;
government proposes it’s drift;
leading to slavery.

God gave life and freedom, above;
man has chosen a worldly king;
God promises unending Love;
government promises everything.

The brightest aren’t in charge;
nor will they ever be;
kings

Fingernails On A Blackboard

Fingernails scraping a blackboard;
that’s how it’s often described;
provokes a feeling, most abhorred;
our annoyance, clearly implied.

Many things cause this reaction;
as our patience begins wearing thin;
taking only the slightest infraction;
to trigger this reaction to begin.

Perhaps it’s a sign of the times;

Resist All Evil

The Master warned that evil be resisted;
espescially egredious, was capitulation;
for the evil one, must never be assisted;
no matter what, may be the situation;

Some evil ones are easy to resist;
for they never even bother to hide;
others masquerade to gain our assist;
hiding their evil inside.

I Don't Need

I don’t need to spread my sorrow;
there’s already enough to go round;
when I awaken upon the morrow;
grumbling, before my feet hit ground.

I don’t need to complain about anything;
an abundance of complaints exists;
besides; what good will complaining bring;
only more and more
