We are the knowledge of what we know.
If we know only lies
we live in lies
though we’ll never know.
Jew Hindu Christian Muslim Mormon Voodoo somebody’s missing something.
And this is just religion
what about a marriage of deception
or bad education
ignorance illiteracy dependency on things that slowly kill you.
Life
people
Life
itself is a dependency that slowly kills you, if you’re lucky!
If you’re unlucky, it can get you in less time than it takes to read the thoughts of a very brittle mind on a night where the wind has gained teeth and bites when it used to kiss.
Still
I keep my window open to circulate the stale air from my lungs.
Chilled, I write of a night that promises nothing but to bite should I step outside.
If I never go out
if I never experience anything
think anything
I can never think anything wrong or false or sinful
can I?
I can
confine all my words to silence, produce nothing, destroy nothing.
Be everything by being nothing.
Being right by never being wrong.
The perfection of the inaction is only spoiled by the finger’s flick, setting inertia on its way.
Still, too much thought devoted towards doing nothing.
I need to do something about it by doing nothing about it
nothing no thinking nothing no drinking nothing no singing nothing no listening nothing no breathing nothing no being nothing no meaning nothing.
