in 1,000 years

Post by mtmynd » August 18th, 2017, 12:23 am

In 1,000 years


let us become friends
before this life retreats
leaving only shards of today
when glued together in
one thousand years
will resemble only
something long dead

love is the missing ingredient
so often dissed as mamby pamby
so often ignored as too simple a solution
the aliens are rolling their eyes
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Didn't we all do that in the last life...
isn't that why we're here?
Who could've ever thought up something
so alien called... studio eight... then?
many is a word

Yes. And in this life, will it continue? The choice has always been there...

Love
Will prevail
You have a great picture
Of a world with you in it
Loving people

Or we could just fight and kill and annihilate each other forever, Old Testament style, because you know the reasons for that are perfectly valid at any point along the timeline, though usually on some distant battlefield, and even better if we don't have to think too much about it but just praise the wars and warriors. This is what has somehow been gathered through all this time, and what I've been taught. And I have no choice but to say yes to it all, like a warrior, even though sometimes I don't.

I don't want to be a part of that ...
If the world is going there
Ride the fault line with a surfboard
I am not into the whole human domination thing
Over nature
I think that the great Mother Earth will shame us all in to caring for ourselves and others
Idealist? Fuck yes- I have seen the power of the heart-
I have danced in the hot sun with no food or water
I have felt the spiritual war or no war- some of us were made to help pick up the pieces-

Our "power" of dominion over nature is illusory.
(and what is our own true nature?)

No one will bother with
piecing together a 1000-year-old
puzzle. All we have is now.
We will be dust by then,
long forgotten,
blown into the nether.
Yeah, let's be friends now.

Yes let us risk being naked and vulnerable in our friendship compassion love tolerance
It's a puzzle or a maze

:P Oh I can tell the future for three payments of 29.99been watching
Listening
Seen the 1000 years the place we signed up for
Divine beauty whispers messages to the open

It is a story
But will we have pencils or pens
To write it down?
