PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Are we for certain and sure that the

   rise of civilization has been an

   improvement on man's lot 

Or have we tried to make a permanent

   residence out of what was meant to be

   only a halfway house, a bardo realm,

   purgatory 

And have we lost sight of the essential

   assignment of evolution, having

   been distracted by shiny objects

Do we hold too high regard for bodies

   made of a temporary conglomeration

   of elements to which they will

   eventually return - Earth Air Fire Water

   and the Aether which carries on 

Perhaps we look out and see a world of

   suffering so that we will not want to linger

   here but long to leave because we have

   gnosis of the upper echelons

If I must make a conscious choice,

   I know where I would wish to go
