the earth is dirt

greetings and great many wishes on this earth day.
we who live and toil in the dust of the realm of mortal existence, knowing full well that this world is temporal, take solace in the fact that this too shall pass. we the human inhabitants of the world struggle onwards in the embetterment of worldly affairs and pursuits, while not losing ourselves to everyday life; reality: was brought back to earth from his daydreams of peace and harmony.
one day all of this will end and each of us shall return to the substance of the human body; clay, dirt, sod.
be humble, rejoice with noise in our life, for that is all that we truly have.

changing a flat

it really never ends this endless circular path which we tread. we lose some and drag the rest, trailing after as the remnants of precursor memory that is worn at the edges. the type of frayed hemming which indicates a well loved article of clothing which we cannot bear to let go. the comfort and the memory of comfort is too much, so we hold on to what we know, remember and love.

regret truly is a miserable creature that festers with poor company. stews vile toxicity and pours it upon everything your mind's eye glances. like a jealous lover or bitter preacher, it spreads ill humour and slowly poisons the world around you. steals the colours out of your dreams, and the laughter of youth.

let life be surprizingly dull and chaotic. it will always be what it is. let go.

moment slipping away

endless trudging to and fro, as if there were meaning the repetitious rhythm of everyday. searching the same worn path for signs, as everything appears to be. in careful steps to avoid the small marching ants who gather and scatter about the earth. i come to a standstill, listen to my heartbeat, slowing to a near crawl as i let the rest of the world pass me by.....

global gears

nothing works in this over-integrating transnational society of ours. or more accurately. nothing works well, worse for most. what is the cost of high standard of living for the few? over-indulgent pharma-care and listless lives marked by waste and excess. why are we so overweight and depressed? this is why the rest of the world is in economic slavery? this is our greatest testament?
i know, of course, that i am glossing over some major social progress of importance, but all those great achievements are in constant jeopardy. not from outside influence, but from within. we are on a collision course with religious warfare, a return to the pages of history, a judgement upon our collective inability to resolve the issues of the past.
empire: for god, crown and land.
just as world war two was inevitable, so too is the holy war.
what makes you think that the jews, christian and the muslims will ever truly embrace one another, when protestants and catholics cannot do the same. the different factions of believers will eventually tear themselves to shreds and take the empire, god and land with them. the truly dispicable thing is that they all believe in the same god, and yet hate each other.
despite all my cynicism and belief that there is a great war on its way, i still have hope. out of the ashes of this conflict will arise the people of earth who are no longer willing to kill for god and country.
