CONFESSION ZERO

“ Pompeo declares American way of life 'is under attack,' hits NYT’s 'Marxist' 1619 project in fiery speech” The American way of ignorance is under attack. “Vatican to Bishops: Believe Little Kids, Investigate All Sex-Abuse Claims” Vatican, you should have always believed the little kids! Your turning a blind eye to their suffering has been well documented, so excuse me if I somehow doubt your claim. “Canada to inessential US travelers: Please stay home” Are WE all inessential travelers, unless we’re feeding, clothing and sheltering those in need? Aren't we inessential over all if we're not living, loving and laughing? Here and Now… “'Science should not stand in the way' of schools reopening, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany says” The puppet's of doublespeak, One side of the mouth says eek, The other side says all's well, In the meantime, the strings swell, They tighten our incuriousness, They bulge within to a ...

Do we know we are dead, when we are dead?) We act as if we don't even know we're alive when we are alive, so, no. (How is it possible to feel someone’s pain?) Empathy, sense memory, actual connection, One. (What if death is actually an amazing process that we have all been scared of?) LIFE is the amazing process we're afraid of. Fools, the whole of us. (What is easier, to hate or to love?) Hate is nothing more than an unnatural emotion, a conjured “reality”, we ourselves are the keepers of Peace and Love, so the question is rhetorical, at best. (Does pride really go before the fall?) I think pride is the fall. (Why do we desire love so much?) The need to replenish what we are. (Does everything really happen for a reason? Can you connect the dots?) We're so busy looking for connections to things, to our human contrivances, that we forget that we’re all the same dot… (Do you think that God is to blame for everything?) Blame is a human constr...

Ride the wave Buck the system Dive down deep Sing it Let them have it Go all out Jump at the chance Double down Roll the dice Better late than never Get their attention Knock it out of the park Get in the groove Now bust a move ~ We actually see so little of our vast surroundings, I'm surprised that we haven't grasped precisely how tiny we are compared to the whole. We are not without significance, but we are without question, tiny. ~ This life is already Heaven, our deeds lift the suffering veil. But you said that's the way it WOULD be, instead of the way it was... Are you a thief without a kingdom to subdue?

The bomb went off as if it were in our hand, yet fell from the sky. It wasn't until the bomb went off in the sky that we realized that it came from our own hand. We marvel at our genius without much cause, and with very little wonder, and not a mite's ass hint of humbleness…

The love of something living Eases our suffering a system (built by headless beasts) And Love arrives, relieving our pain That Peace unveiled, rises again ~MRP with CFGHKLMP...

Dear Santa, I haven't written you in a rather long time, but I felt the need at the age of fifty-five to reach out to you. I still believe in the spirit of our great human wonder, and you, being a lover of home, reindeer and elves, I thought would have some valuable insight into the human condition? (Ho Ho Ho!) Nice. (HO HO HO!!!) Okay. (HO HO HO HO HO!!!) Are you madness per-santa-fied? (HO HO HO Hoedee Ho Ho Hoedee Doe!!!) No more eggnog for you... As a matter of fact, St. Nicholas, you contribute greatly to our overconsumption, ergo, destruction of our Home, therefore- (It's once a friggin' year!) Yes indeed! You're like high fructose corn syrup, our brains don't recognize the sickly-sweet desire to use the (H)eartH as a trashcan, that and we blindly love you more, so we ignore the obvious truth! Therefore, you and Mrs Clause need stop the WANT and give yourselves, the reindeer, the sleigh, the slaves (elves) and the billions of toys a much...

It's not about deserving anything, it's about our alignment with all. We should focus on reaching a Collective agreement waged by peaceful and necessary means, a sure way for us to remain thus… © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
