The Paradox


 

With everyday under protected skies,

we come across some traitors lives.

Promised solution to all complexes,

riches beyond faint heart perplexes.

Adoration by fame benediction,

bargains without guilt affliction.

The patriot and his free ticket vote,

righteousness that need some promote.

Fees for the clamorous priest,

words of comfort in the least.

Stones and graves as memorandum,

dust to dust and its bleeding phantom.

Bubbles to buy in ounces of gold,

it’s the story as package to be sold.

The price to know God for asking,

resuming whole souls tasking.

Imitation of immortality without death,

lyrics and rhymes already in breath.

Scientific prophesies as politic conclusion,

sweetest moments of delusion.

Medias senses of what is right in time,

feeding the truth through a costly plastic frame.

Enslaving oneself by far more credit,

for the children to know its inherit.

The dying dream with its inspiration,

ceased moments lost in translation.

The placid and self contained condition,

takes forms in transparent definition.

As term-less feast of our content,

souls are more then body meant.

Wasted time in displeased self-assertion,

no values after deeds in resignation.

The greatest tragedy of the world in confusion,

the lack of awareness in spiritual evolution.

https://robertrittel.blogspot.com Living virtualistic through myself. The road I wanted to follow choose me and I can see the cosmos to know itself. I remember only moments where my actions manifested the belief of my passion, choosing my next universe through what I have learned in this one. My fears got lost in dreams, sensing what needed to be done with no thinking. I believe in fairy tales, especially with dragons and how to tame them. I do not need any strange faith to worship that celestial brilliance. Dismissing everything what insults my soul and faithful in those small things, because it is in them where our strength is.
