APART FROM CONSCIOUSNESS

 

Apart from consciousness

No absolute truth exists.

Go your own way

Free from anger, lust and dogmas

Stainless

Leaving no trace

Just pure goodness from the heart

A mobile source of compassion

Walking the forests of disease and corruption

Clinging to nothing and no one

            The moth lands on the window

            Attracted by the light inside

            We repeat the experiment

            But the light is outside

            Already with the moth

            He does not need to seek it

            And it will rise

            And illuminate his entire world

            If it waits, patient

            Observant of his own beauty

            In its surroundings a perfect fit

            Flitting from flower to flower

            As though a dance

            To the enticement of nectar

And then the superlatives flowed –

All the press agreed on a list –

Adjectives that were acceptable

And threw them into an app –

Sports hero rap –

And out comes a newsfeed

From all the major corporate media players

And they all agree, for one day.

And then the haters and doubters rise again.
