Shaer — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 21:31:57 +0000

Our "Inadequacies", Rampant With Ego ..
Telling People One Thing, Yet Being Something Else ..

Trying To "Project" An Image, Totally Opposite Of Who We Are ..
Thinking That We Can "Fool" People, Yet All Obvious ..

Telling People, That We Have This "Degree" Or That ..

For Three Days Now, My Message To My Brother ..

Trying To Get His Attention, Every Which Way I Can ..
To No Avail, All To No Avail ..

In the Midst Of "Fog", Looking For "Clarity" ..
Where Is My Guiding Light, What Am I Supposed To Do ..

Some Say Do This, Some Say Do That ..
None Too Sure, All But A "Guess" ..

Shall I Put A "Good" Face On, Pretending All Alright ..
Not Only Fooling "Myself", But Fooling Others ..

I Come And Go, As If Nothing Is "Bothering" Me ..
I Try To Look "Aloof", As If Being "Cool" ..

Shifting From Balance, From Head To Toe ..
Every Instant, Every Moment ..

Though Haphazard, And Unclear The Vision ..
Perplex Though It May Be, Yet Not Undefined ..

From Our Habit, To The Consciousness Of The Unknown ..
Though Uncertain, Yet Quite Desirable ..

Many Factions Here And There, All Screaming ..
My Right, Your Right, Our Right ..

All The Mullahs, Akhounds, And The Clergy ..
Incompetent They Are, Yet Clumsy ..

Certainty Of "Action" - "Confidence"

As The Whisper, Cometh through With Murmur ..
In An Instant, Certainty Turns In to doubt ..

No doubt In Mind, All Certainty In Place ..
Doubters Hovering Overhead, Disrupting The Peace ..

One Plan, Two Plans, Three Plans, Four ..
All Devised, None Yet Chosen ..

In My Imagination, All "Prudent" ..
No Efforts Wasted, None Too Challenged ..

Some More Difficult Than Others, Yet Not Impossible ..
The Harder The Effort, The Bigger The Prize ..

As The Wind Whirls, Catapulting Every Spec ..
Unbeknownst To Anyone, Yet Known To All ..

Darkness And all Shadows, But ever Present ..
Lingering Behind, Embracing Every Move ..

My Mother, My Nurturer, My Very Being ..
Protection Abound, Evils Present ..

For Every Step "Forward", Evil Thoughts And Compulsions ..
Trying To Hold Us Back, Fighting Ensues ..

My Spirit Pushes Me Forward, The "Complexes" Exist ..
Holding Me Back They Do, Deliberate And Strong ..

With Determination, Meandering The Moments ..

One Step At a Time, Two Steps Too Much ..
No Agony In Site, All Glorious Heaven ..

In the Humdrum Of Existence, With Much Seriousness ..
Many Attempts, To Glorify Oneself ..

From Adam and Eve, To The Garden Of Eden ..
All That Stuff, Take A Break My Brother ..

Walking From The Abyss, Away From Danger ..
My Mind Fully aware, Of The Danger awaiting ..

Hours Come And Go, In Sweet Bliss Of Ignorance ..
The Roaring Lion, Waiting Patiently For Prey ..

Things Appear One way, Yet Different From Another ..
All A "Hallucination", Nothing "Confirmed" ..

As The Breeze, Suffuses Through The Ocean ..
With The Seagulls Ever Present, Contemplating The Moment ..

With Clouds, From on High ..
Eagles, Following their Prey ..

With all Imaginary, And Non-Imaginary Things Present ..

Refreshing The Air, With Wonders and Excitement ..

The Brevity Of The Moment, Alas Too Quick To Pass ..
The Wonder Of Eternity, Evident For All to See ..

The Glory Of Creation, Its Pattern Not Yet Known ..
Its Moment Of Conception, Known To All ..

All There Is, There Was, and There Will Be ..
Consummated To this Place, All within ..

All Secrets Yet To Be Had, Known, Or Revealed ..
Converged From Eternity, To My Core ..
