| 'Tis No Rebirth

| When they first fed it to me | 1 |
It tasted so easy. | 2 |
"Let your gut lead. | 3 |
Don't sabotage your own journey. | 4 |
Let it be. | 5 |
You are born free. | 6 |
Life is sweet." | 7 |
| |
Flung into a strange plane | 8 |
to learn of shame, | 9 |
speechless, penniless, nameless | 10 |
with only one thing to keep you sane... | 11 |
For every person it is the same. | 12 |
Our | 13 |
innate | 14 |
rolling | 15 |
stone | 16 |
Philosophy. | 17 |
| |
On occasion it occurs to me, | 18 |
I don't live by that thinking. | 19 |
I am born of hypocrisy | 20 |
and its debauchery. | 21 |
| |
Even now, the words taste easy, | 22 |
full of covetous memory. | 23 |
I am greed. | 24 |
| |
My serpant conspires, | 25 |
"Strike appeal to Earth, to come all this way for a fruitless search. | 26 |
'Tis no rebirth." | 27 |
| |
Looking back, | 28 |
it was planned so beautifully. | 29 |
Let your guts lead. | 30 |
Your born philosophy | 31 |
to refine your pursuit of curiousity. | 32 |
"Let it be." | 33 |
| |
But of THIS life, | 34 |
no one told me. | 35 |
They forgot. | 36 |
Implanted These Philosophies | 37 |
to coddle me. | 38 |

...I can't decide whether you are
a. A religious person losing faith in yourself and your actions.
or
b. Someone who has no idea what it means to be a seeker of truth, or in other words, a philosopher.
Either way, this poem is rather muddled. I want to choke the life out of it's weak, "I blame the world for my enslaved (that is to say, not free) spirit" attitude.

JESUS LOVES YOU MOLLY!

I am no religious zealot.
Furthermore, I am educated, well-read, and knowledgable on the subject of philosophy. However, this piece is not referring to what you are. Think it over.

Read! learn! and as for the light years comment - if we are all made of light how can one light be before another? Wake up - then dream. oh and be careful of the use of the words - philosophy - curiousity and ME!
