Squeezing Out The Light



Squeezing out from insight.
The brightest of light.
From life to allow fade away.
With no replacement to rescue and save,
Humanity!
Facing an array of chasing dilemmas.
Believing it takes air left to breathe.
Is one's only need.
To return back to a consciousness.
Without anything else to depend upon.
That will assist the living on fiction.
Surviving through denial.
And delusion to resuscitate,
The truth and its reality.

Drifting until gone.
As if another dawn.
Arising to brighten the horizon.
Going unappreciated.
What had been too basic of a blessing.
Given to ignore the value of life as is!
Kept to keep this prioritized,
In minds to respect, accept and protect!
Since...
Nowhere on this Earth,
Or detected yet in the Universe.
Is there access to exits to escape.
From the bitter taste.
Of what today is taking place.
For granted!
Regardless of who may stay enchanted.
By fairytales to sell them well.
But...
Eventually becoming disappointed.
By the warnings and threats announced!
To be aware and prepared,
For such hollow images to provide...
Ongoing everlasting substance!
