Blinding Insight

Isn’t life a crying game?
The simple truth
is knowledge isn’t
necessary to see
the nature of existence.

Our eyes are used
to visualize
our greedy human
expectations
Everything we see
we expect to.

Eyes that are open
should perceive what is
yet few see past
their beliefs
and into the
real world.

The entire trouble with man
Is that he expects
This creates a canvas
a landscape
of hope and visions
which are unnatural
Nature didn’t create the hotel
A man dreamed up an expectation
and executed it.

At the end of time
a man whose name
is of no importance
will find himself
the last human being
and his only concern
will be to make sure
the electricity doesn’t
get shut off
