Duḥkha ~ Tuesday, December 10, 2024

What does it mean to write philosophy
how to communicate the breadth of thought
as ideas breathe emptiness into life
turn upside-down faith in theosophy

demonstrate in language beyond belief
obtain status with concepts sold and bought
entitlement and privilege cut through strife
shrug off the slavery of words, language

in faith, leads suffering beyond all grief
transforms practice in delusions of sense

make practice make perfect beyond the good
enter illusion, past and future tense
argue past the emptiness of dead wood
nuzzle forgotten books, scents that sandwich

trust in systems between anarchic wit
obligations to ivory ethics

witness the horrific, shudder to think
reasonably, horses champ at the bit
insanity to believe in science
transcendental mythos as aesthetics
essentially blind to the unknown, drink

phantom deer blood, rituals of mankind
haunted by victims of torture, nonsense
inherits the inhabitants of Earth
lick their wounds like a dog licks her anus
obliged to enjoy misery since birth
soak up the sauce with bread, face of Janus
observes both forwards and backwards to find
pity for the living, wandering blind
hopelessly lost, helpless as a child found
yearning as an adult for help, unsound
