Ignored Yet Always Heeded

[ZeroDude]

We only think we know the truth,
But the truth so often evades us,
Leaving subtle allusions to reality,
While crafting illicit lies,

The delusional and the merciful,
So often dispense of all needful vanities,
Shaming shamanistic nihilists,
For fear of retaliation sans fact,

Gender specific issues adorn magazine covers,
Ignoring the willingly ignorant,
Who need not heed consumerist calls,
Promoting a pariah known only as spiritual autism,

As the river Tiber once again bastardizes our bounty,
Spoiling the harvest with innocent blood,
Leaving only those with self realisation,
Lacking in denial and hedonistic wit,

Yet we'll always demonise what we don't understand.

^ Don't mind that, I never really liked the Exorcist movies, and that phrase has somewhat evolved in my mind. It is a great thing to say when you are alone and feel like shouting.

(note: the "you" is not directed at ZeroDude)

It's this fear of clinging, of losing, that ultimately prevents us. It is so strange. Just as man can allow god to exist, he can also allow his own demise to exist. I wonder, sometimes, why people want to be afraid?

I struggle when asking myself this question, because I know that there is something I overlook, like everyone else does....
