UNCOMMON IDEAS OF KNOWLEDGE ADDRESSED
Folder:
JOURNAL #22 do you think the sky
truly knows what the earth is for
(a place for perpetual classes that must be
taken by the soul)
or that little children know just how truly
beautiful to us that they are
all while they are still just that
innocent little children
and do elephants I wonder think that they too
possess such incredible memories
or do they rather complain amongst themselves
that this elephant or that one's memory is worse
than some lowly human's
just who invented asphalt
and then turned around and gave it such a terribly
funny sounding name
and do pigs know just how good they taste
what is the purpose of donuts having holes in
their middles and why is it said
'Its A Small World'
when its really the population thats growing
larger
where as the world itself stays its general size
minus the occasional man made dike or two
of course
how predominant do you think ignorance is among
the movement of man
and why is it that most religions tend to believe
that all the other practiced religions are going
to hell
who wrote the first recorded words
after the wheel
what would be considered as the greatest invention
if death were a rose would we not fear it but hold
it up to such grand ideas of beauty, romance
and esteem
and if the rose was the basis for all knowledge
would there truly be any left for the average man
to pick or would its graceful bloom have been raped
and pilfered to dismal extinction long, long ago
if the sun could turn its life giving rays
towards another planet
I wonder somehow if it would
just out of spite for these rude undeserving
inhabitants of this fickle earth's floor
do you think most martyrs become martyrs by accident
or rather they purposely throw themselves into
such a role
and last but certainly not least
had I been truly physically beautiful
would I have as well been shallow and thoughtless
like a great many others I've encountered
perhaps
this makes me glad then for the moment at least
that 'I am What I am'
( to loosely quote Popeye)
deeper than even the chasm that houses all of man's
sin
I don't know
which is only just the beginning to all knowledge.....
