Apparently Lost
What evidence or certainty do we have it all regarding afterlife, the truth and when it calls? Yes, and what is more is if to know there's more to gain, For if I die and go to hell, I doubt a spirit feels pain Or if the Pearly Gates is where I shall be headed, Tell me now, what spirit cares if streets are gold embedded and Then, of course, what of the source that says I'll be reset? Could it be a tiny flea could return as an egret? It seems as but a stretch of our sweet imagination and It feels as but a sponge that avoids all validation And if it's true that we use a small percentage of our brain, Why can't it be that what we think we know now is insane? Is it disturbing when one questions what he or she has learned, When as a child, lies from your folks felt as though they burned And told for what, subordination? Well, if so, then for whom, Big Brother, mom and dad, myself, god or Dr. doom? I wish deeply that the day of understanding would arrive. More so, I hope it comes and stays while I am still alive.
About this poem
Apparently Lost reflects my long-held honest observations & unorthodox perception of the still biggest existing cons in operation, the BFF's of religion- Hearsay & Speculation, the triggering sources of mob mentality, hateful & regressive outcomes. I also witness those whose charitable lifestyles are lowkey fueled to accomidate their selfish expectancy of alleged rewards after death or by the fear & guilt tactics that allegedly justify their fraudelent campaign. I constantly find & dispise hypocritical minds, convinced of invisible products over direct experience. I ask questions, hope to reinforce independent thought and expose the fear and guilt tactics that are so often misused to manipulate the masses. I mean no disrespect even though I am insulted by delusional deception. I am compelled to be authentic & attemot to express such in this poem. more »
