The longer I stare at one side. The more I know of the other. Getting upset at cruelty. I don't know why I bother.
No singularity exists. War without peace. Love without hate. Action without fate.
This is what it's all about. Never to be stationary. Not to be confused with complacency. Realising Ying is Yang's clout.
We been pushed from the Centre point of the pendulum. Occasionally meeting in the middle. Telling each others experiences but always in riddle.
Experiencing other with each and every tick. If one side is healthy. The other must be sick.
So it would seem that to wish away the evil. To know what's on the other side. Would leave us caught in the middle. With no subjectivity to imbibe.

A Game of Chess
How I wish we could appeal To some real White Queen Oh how I wish we were able to steal From God a new scene
But affairs are not so unreal Nature is having her say She is not just sending a peal Things are a bit serious today
Liken it to a game An unfriendly game of chess We are masters only in name Unappreciated goes our excess
Dear Mother allows us to think That we are moving the pieces While reality is more of a kink -- We ourselves are the pieces
Man being played like violins Moving blind down tracks We are not laying with violence Our slaves exposing the cracks
It's a risky gambit Nature could easily lose But just as like it as dammit
She is the only possible winner

Used the board as a discussion point the other day. Thinking about the pieces perspectives. What's motivating structured play. If left to their own directives.
With no sense of purpose, no guiding hand. The games would be pointless and ultimately bland. Given a frame work to operate in, willingly manipulated. No promise of conclusion means effort capitulated.
So on they move, pretending to be in control. Sold on the promise of an ultimate goal. Now perhaps we aren't all that different. Both we and the pieces deliberately ignorant.
As we look down on the board as only a player may. We see what really defines the stakes at play. Seeing that it's nothing without the possibility of the killer blow. A winner and a loser and some way to know.
It then went on to a change in perspectives. Imagine the pieces were to see the hands directives. If both the player and the played were to look in the eye. Would it mean the game would die.
To see the rules scribbled on some note. To see the scotch and the drunkards who wrote. To understand that this life or death struggle. Was really just a repetitive black and white bubble.
It may be best and necessary for dimensions to exist. Because we like the game and will not desist. If the pieces knew they might not come back. And with still more games to play, that would be crap.

'up' and 'down' were wrongly denoted in this infinite matrix we can't perceive concepts war -- war in the fire of our guts from the inculcation away from finite reality through misery and suffering, hope fends for fear desperation in the slaughter with man running from the guilt and pleasure of it all while we think, 'there I stand', we recede and fall but this hold keeps us spinning as space and time folds, forever bound
like a disciplined cross-hatched weave

Monument Valley
The Navajo believe that all elements in nature are endowed with spirit. Navajos view moon, rock, plant, and all other natural phenomena as holding special knowledge that can aid human beings. --Monument Valley: The Story Behind the Scenery (A Navajo Nation Tribal Park)
Navajo Nation, national pride They call it Monument Valley Glory formations, desert beside Spires impossible to tally
Developing skyward, an infinite finity Beauty, boundless desolation The towers bring an ingress of serenity The Three Sisters a holy formation
A gift from the Creator, the natives believe And I cannot but give my assent Leaving this place is a bit to bereave A various form of descent
Moccasin Arch, base purple sage Snakewood and Cliffrose abundant The Anasazi are a hard bunch to gauge Not a molecule of this place is redundant
The Bear and the Rabbit, on the horizon Sandstone all over the place And red sand and some green that the shepherd relies on A sturdy and meaningful race
Return to the Hogan, get a night's rest A beginning of time, but no end A way of life to this day that's the best A sacredness God only could send

Cakes and Potions
What did Alice eat again? What ate her good maker? "Eat me" cake, she ate it, sure Where then did it take her?
Higher! Yes, right, higher still But not in ways profane She grew in stature, not in high The creator did not deign
And now today, we eat cake too But it's not so innocent Proliferation of cake's taboo But it seems to be Heaven-sent
For just that reason, we should try To limit its abuses Responsible parties, seeking the truth Are those for whom it has uses
Shamans, monks -- what you will A more refined approach Must surround such cakes and potions The reckless must not encroach
We might have saved ourselves A headache, a ban or two But heady days they surely were What else was there to do?
Always be sure after eating cake To drink the 'drink me' potion So you come back down to Earth again And give no one a notion

You can tell how well you're doing By the needle
As it tips and plunges, and rises When you're loaded
When it's low so are spirits And cash follows suit
When it's high youre supplied You can drive many miles on a full tank of gas

Soma misnomer. Pie in the sky. Mindlessly sober. Perpetually high.
Unethical retributions. Enforced by the unharmed. Perspective dissolutions. Uprisings disarmed.
Hidden shadows. Restricting colours. Awareness gallows. Seperating lovers.
Illumination gifts. Let no law succeed. Time shifts. Do not concede.

America
Land of the free? Home of the brave? Land of the Cree Home of the knave
I pledge allegiance to a flag A colored piece of cloth Those dear patriots, how they nag When your fervency grows soft
Half, fully half of our own Are living paycheck to paycheck And the portion of poor, we'd like to disown To help no one sticks out his neck
Every man for himself! we cry This is really how people feel It is no wonder that, by and by Some people are forced to steal
Taking care of our own Is not something we do And we're reluctant to pay any tax
When our country has grown Perhaps we'll see through (We're still young and don't have the facts)
The U.S. of A.'s a bit lost, as they say And our problems are soul-deep and hopeless Improve, well -- we might, sometime or someday If we change our minds (maybe no homeless)

cross the temple garden walking up the steps to the temple west making light of morning with a smile cross my chest he who lives shall see the crack of twigs to dern nature's spiders dangling in the ferns he turns his back to the Locust tree Jainist monk seen wrought with tattered leaves leaping in the air to cease the dashing o'er his feet tipping over rock and vine to save the sleeping leech's death:

Halfway between infinite and finite. Some thought but mostly sight. The cog on the clock at the base of the hand. Seems like it might be first to understand.
A spot in a sphere looked at in 2d. Will change its time as you will see. If you give it an extra dimension much like awareness . The 2d world could never understand no matter the persistance.
Whilst we are in the middle and seemingly moving. The sphere dances in step. The trickiest illusion constantly soothing. With acceptance we become adept.
If thinking about finite your dealing with infinite. And the opposite is true. Prove either beyond a doubt. I'll be impressed if you do.

Floating and hoping, mad angrily lost in the waters of some dark barren sea.. Shit fuck god damn it, I'm swearing you see! I only left to seek reasons behind whats really me. But soon it got dark and hella cloudy, monsoon style winds began raining loudly. Now lost in deep water I don't know what happened,
I'm really here-now and It's super confusing because I was on the ground. A whirlpool later and my life turns around. It's all clearing up and the waters recede All is not lost! An adventure indeed.

True Hallucinations
Hallucination, true or false The process isn't present Unless of course you mean to you God willing yours are pleasant
Most people hear the word, think Of mentalities abnormal Not only that but clearly false Such souls drearily normal
Why cannot one be the truth? What's stopping nature from it? Many souls are blessed, it seems It's not just dross, dad gummit!
It's necessary to establish The validity of visions For you see the point I'll make ahead Requires such provisions
The final secret, you understand Of the Illuminati and the OTO and Freemasons Is really rather handy
Anything is possible Understand it well Any, every vision had Can cosmically in-dwell
Can indeed be made Real, with enough tools Engineer the infinite Forget about the rules -- (and the fools)

civility: a foolish lot of thorny cads with a bent to whores government: a rag-tag slipknot of hens to tend the moors men drunk on liquor and fed on chores build this temple of yours
thou shalt outperform and thine shall become the multitude thy wind-shorn scintillating eyes bring forth crude wealth set thine ears about so to hear the outbursts of flames borne thee O youth to destruction through windfall of games
amongst thou, thou enmities hide behind, the blind for you can see, and you can hear, thine enemies beside yet not protest, only wait for the time -- to strike! so thou must play blind....

The fabric of it all, stitched with now and moved by the winds of us. Unique similarities underpin the seemingly random as the flag flutters. Some see the wind. Some see the flag. Some are both.
Ability to dissect and portion out machinations. The double edge sword. Painfully endless, pointless iterations. Joyfully conclusive, needed exaltations.
A random system that's quite contrived. All know this deep inside. Behind the masks in front of our eyes. Placed with care and set with lies.
Instead of chasing a faster beam. You can compile the info you have seen. Accepting that whilst a moment seems frustratingly fleeting. The system is set to keep it repeating.
They use their knowledge in many markets. The to and the fro. They need you to think there's no way to know. Our ignorance clouds the sun in their pockets.
Few have the choice to play or be played. To be yourself or be portrayed. To be the wind the flag, neither or both. This is the game with which we are betrothed.

vague mysteries of nature unformed in the tamed minds wander, a logic not welcomed by any rationality nor material standard, the stance reminds uncertainty regarding certainly unknowable things.
