You like this guy's work. It is interesting, though I don't really think of it as poetry. Not that I think of it as prose either. It is interesting.<br />

<b>Nobody can have power if it is not given to them.</b><br />

Not sure if I agree with that. Maybe. In the context that he has it framed, within the race of consumption, it is intended to be true, but in a way it remains but one more illusion. The power is there, waiting to be taken. Most of us fail to see clearly enough to understand that, or to know…

Not sure if I agree with that. Maybe. In the context that he has it framed, within the race of consumption, it is intended to be true, but in a way it remains but one more illusion. The power is there, waiting to be taken. Most of us fail to see clearly enough to understand that, or to know how to use that power if we do understand that it is just waiting to be taken.<br />
<br />
What an interesting statement. It's kind of like a thing that exists in a four dimensional space. Is it myth? or Truth? The creation of the democratic process long ago attempted to place power in the hands of many. Yet today it seems as if it hasn't. Or are we simply beguiled by smoke and mirrors, unaware . . .<br />
<br />
It kind of reminds me of the Gordian Knot - probably haven't spelled that right. Anyone could have cut that knot. Only one dared.<br />

I read it Zen....and I thought of this poem written by someone else:<br />

<b>B e i n g H u m a n - B e i n g L i a r s</b><br />
Ever since the first day of our human history<br />
we have survived by pretending and lying<br />
this learned behavior became our nature<br />

<br />
<b>B e i n g H u m a n - B e i n g L i a r s</b><br />
Ever since the first day of our human history<br />
we have survived by pretending and lying<br />
this learned behavior became our nature<br />
worn like an inseparable skin by all of us.<br />
<br />
Competition games determining the strongest<br />
developing abilities of mind and instinctive flair<br />
tricking out the dummies and winning the race<br />
getting what is desired without slightest concern.<br />
<br />
The greatest liars and most clever pretenders<br />
are manipulating others and all circumstances.<br />
Nothing has changed about it since the beginning<br />
only the methods used are more sophisticated.<br />
<br />
Taught by authoritarian liars to adopt honesty<br />
we integrated this into our survival techniques<br />
covering our skin of lies with beautiful moral robes<br />
of spiritually colored integrity-belief concepts.<br />
<br />
Hiding and escaping have been part of surviving<br />
then embellished, justified methods were added<br />
to defend one's own lie with moral arguments<br />
advocating one's 'only truth' with superior status.<br />
<br />
Is existence completed through personal games?<br />
Are survival needs fulfilled by striving for power<br />
where the strongest ones are swallowing all others -<br />
ending up as greatest untouchable human beasts?<br />
<br />
The biggest lie might be the one of immortality<br />
manifesting oneself by building liar's monuments<br />
accumulating property - towering lies up to the sky<br />
blinding oneself, unaware that all is bound to death.<br />
<br />
Tranquilizing people's feelings of fear and inferiority<br />
by creating new spiritual concepts of immortality<br />
offering satisfying immaterial images to identify with<br />
ensuing high floating spaces beyond daily reality.<br />
<br />
We are all natural liars - because we are human<br />
not able to jump over our own inborn shadow.<br />
All have this restraint - even the elite power players<br />
only they are adept at overshadowing the rest of us.<br />
<br />
Manipulating and controlling the whole world<br />
is the self-centered play of a few top master liars.<br />
Leading and winning in a chess game of existence<br />
they get their superior godlike feeling out of it.<br />
<br />
Promoting one's own lie as the greatest truth<br />
gives the legitimate right to defend it and fight<br />
eliminating any resistance with all available means<br />
to manifest the final untouchable truth forever.<br />
<br />
While pretending to be the elite savior of mankind<br />
killing and lying and causing unbearable suffering<br />
spreading death and starvation over the planet<br />
using all life as pawns to promote their lofty goals.<br />
<br />
Puppets stay in dependency and suffer as victims<br />
a personal confirmation game no different than others<br />
adopting a passive manner, feeling helpless and numb<br />
giving the fault to all around - but never to themselves!<br />
<br />
The manipulators don't only sit on presidents' chairs<br />
having gained boundless power to move all strings<br />
using their unlimited winnings to blow themselves up<br />
in an endless fighting game striving for satisfaction.<br />
<br />
The rest are playing in fields of small daily events<br />
getting the richest juice out of life as good as they can.<br />
Competition is pervasive, all reaching out for one goal:<br />
striving for highest satisfaction - in this are all equal.<br />
<br />
Nobody can have power if it is not given to them.<br />
We are the ones who are feeding the monster<br />
which then rips us off and holds us dependent<br />
giving us what we ask for - buying satisfaction.<br />
<br />
Just as everything grows to its maximum size<br />
the lies will expand to momentous proportions<br />
until they collapse like a skyscraper card house<br />
swallowed into itself, a black hole of nothingness.<br />
<br />
Does each of us have to fall into final emptiness<br />
nakedly confronting oneself stripped from one's skin<br />
to be able to realize there is an underlying truth<br />
that doesn't depend on one's personal perception?<br />
<br />
Can we dare to look beneath our established lies?<br />
Existence does not depend on how we see it<br />
and how we limit it to our concepts and beliefs.<br />
'Being' by itself is enough - all the rest is dust.<br />
<br />
Let's clean the dust from our mirrors of perception<br />
observing clear reflections, we will see ourselves<br />
free of dependencies and old established lies<br />
in a new light of awareness of our real Being.<br />
<br />
