What A Blessing To Receive



What a blessing to receive.
Then waste its ability on limited possibilities.
It is said the mind is a terrible thing not to use.
Or abuse the encouragement,
To participate in making contributions made.
In fear of false images faked to create them,
May someday be discovered.
Like the original Bible without all its gospels.
Omitted to avoid truth and reality to question.

What a blessing it is to be curious about life.
To realize Earth,
Could not be the center of the Universe.
Or that the Earth may not be,
The only planet supporting life as we know it.
And...
Eons beyond our intelligence.
Well...
That probability,
May not be worthy of wasting time to debate.
Since to question on a daily basis,
Is the task many have,
As to who is conscious and mentally awake.
And who is unconscious,
Making incompetent decisions everyday.
To be labeled and called,
Leaders of The Free World.
Among other not so popular references.

Yet with faith kept to keep it.
And making attempts to understand,
What few will admit does not make sense.
While many will overwhelmingly agree,
Not everything is meant to be...
Completely understood to comprehend.
Even if many,
Claiming to have expertise in 'THIS and THAT'.
Find it difficult to explain,
The difference between common sense.
And pretending it can be achieved,
By using words they can neither spell.
Nor found in any dictionary!

'If the immune system and DNA we all have,
Is different from others.
And it said...
The body can heal itself if properly nourished?
Why is it people believe they need,
A variety of medications and vaccines...
To cure away a disease the returns annually,
As if time released to infect the body again.'

'Your point is well taken.
Clear and articulately expressed.
Next question, please?
You?
Yes...
You.
The one wearing a mask and coughing.
Your question.
And be brief.'
