Living in the shadow

of a man now gone

Darkness my betrayal

— shades of future past

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)

 

Life’s secret

 is in the balance

where happiness

— rests

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)

Philosophy …

a preparation

for death

 

Groundwork

of ascension

— footnote of goodbye

 

(Dreamsleep: September, 2024)

Death

the ultimate

release

Freedom’s

Déjà vu  

 

Questions

answers

join as one

Prescience

— shining through

 

(Dreamsleep: September, 2024)

Outside the mind

they’re no universals

Conflation and trend

— humanity’s bane

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)

“If you spend half your time

trying to change human nature

You’ll spend the other half

 being disappointed”

 

If you spend half your time

waiting for someone to love

You’ll spend the other half

waiting to die

 

If you spend half your time

questioning the truth in the answers

You’ll spend the other half

missing the point

 

If you spend half your time

following the tracks of another

You’ll spend the other half

— wondering why

No longer a teacher

a programmer …

your gift to persuade

is gone

 

Referring to students

as charges and dolts

your power to control

is strong

 

To dictate

humanity

you must give up your own

controlled to then control

 

Blind to the moment

deaf to the past

defaming your nature

 — killing your soul

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)

Modernity

damns judgment

its prophets

seen as hostile

 

As the soulless

watch and covet

like a eunuch

envies man

 

What’s needed

is more judgment

and critique

to moral order

 

The essence

of humanity

 what the soulless

try to ban

 

Irrational impulses

driving them

to lives of

dark infliction

 

Forcing them

to claim the world

in ‘natures’

— evil plan

 

(Reading C.S. Lewis: October, 2024)

 

Judging opinions

by their age

proscriptions

lie in wait

 

Consensus stained

with fear and guilt

folly

overstates

 

Knowledge of others

unknown to self

deception points

one way

 

Value weighed

in layers of dust

the truth held

—far at bay

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2024)

Nowhere

ain’t nowhere

when it’s where

— you belong
