Critique ~ Friday, 20 July 2018

At the far end
of a tunnel
the light you see
is just a train

take it for what
it is a train
however long
seems eternal
endless nothing
lasts forever

forever is
eternal hell
ask the devil
himself how time
real in itself
is illusion

engage in thought
experiments
never thinking
for a moment
damnation is
this life itself

only accept
positive views
for what is real
matter matters

as do black lives
if we agree

then murder harms
the populace
under no fault
of the police
no one will know
why people die
no one will know
why police kill
everybody
who fights to breathe
lack oxygen
from a chokehold

take life in stride
you are alive
however not
really for long
even a train
may last longer

light at the end
of the tunnel
in fact may be
something you see
granted a train
is not heaven
however death
may be a box
tucked deep in earth
beyond the lies

yet as you see
metaphysics
orders the mind
with delusions
unknown to real
everyday tasks

say what you want
believe in lies
everything is
within the real
even false hope
and sheer terror

indeed heaven
and hell are tropes
such metaphors
for the unknown

justify pain
and suffering
uncertainty
blinds us from death
still chances are
change will come
the afterlife
may not be false

as no one knows
what the outcome

to life entails
we ask ourselves
real life or lies
fiction or fact
answer yourself
your own question
if the meaning
of life is some
noble venture
or just a game
