Analysis of It Lives, Thinks And Also Knows



Everything from it to birth,
Does not go unnoticed.
Upon this intelligent Earth.

Although taken for granted,
Are those who inhabit it.
With a blessed self consciousness.
Born to believe,
Whatever they do...
Goes dismissed.
On an Earth giving birth.
To everything on it!

It lives, thinks and also knows.
Yet...
Not directly apparent,
To the ones who grow...
Unaware,
From where they came to live.
With an allowing them to exist.
Although few are heard to resist,
Witnessing being return to it!

Without their things.
Or a perceived power over others.
Leaving behind,
All that lives to breathe...
Acknowledging this.
Whether or not to be asked permission.

It lives, thinks and also knows,
What it is!
To ultimately become the benefactor,
Of all the nonsense and ignorance...
Committed to permit it.

'Why would a living entity,
Permit...
Such foolishness witnessed to commit?'

'Do you have children?'

'Yes. Yes, I do.'

'And...
Some children will listen to pay attention.
As to what they should not do.
Agree?'

'Yes. Yes, I do.'

'While others,
No matter what is said to them...
They will continue to ignore it.
Then await when it's too late,
To say they wished to have lived...
Another way.'

'Life to live it to experience it,
Is much too short.
With less time given...
To become aware and understand,
The importance of the process.'

'True.
However...
Growing older,
Makes that better understood.
Doesn't it?'

'Yeah.
But...
How is that taught to someone young?'

'Removing fiction to delude as reality.
To live a truth to respect and let live.'

'And...
This does what to and for the Earth?'

'A better place to live.
Without it feeling remorse or regret.
For having to accept,
The spreading of overwhelming...
Unconscious and annoying,
Self anointed human stupidity!
As if this is a rewarding way,
To appreciate...
The receiving of life to live it.
And the worthlessness,
Of conflicts and division to support.'

'Either way the Earth still benefits!'

'You know that and so do I.
But those seeking to censor reality.
Have no clue as to what the Earth does.
Or what the Earth is to take for granted!'

'Tell me about it.
We live to become older then wise.
Why?
Shouldn't that be the other way around?'

'Well...
Think about that.
Who or the whomever of it,
Created this existence we live?
Had to have had a sense of humor.
Who intentionally creates a mess,
Knowing themselves...
To become the benefactor of the havoc?'

'Now?
In these days and times?
That to know it happening everywhere,
Is not laughable.'

'Because neither one of us,
Can claim we to be the benefactors of it!'
