Question convention
By clarity
Since the time of my birth,as I set forth to walk the worlds course,I've questioned lifes worth,and why the last wasn't first.Am I blessed?Or worse, am I cursed?These thoughts build in my mind,As I try to find time,to ask,why I see the world through opposite eyes.A sense I posess,fixed in the brain,to reject, object,and go against the grain.I've always held, overwhelmed in my mind,a lingering feeling,a question of why.I often ask at times inappropriate,why this, why that, and why we conform to it?See, I tend to analyze,whats normally accepted.Where did it come from?How did we get it?How did time start,who could've set it?Was the allmighty really resurrected?Now, some might say its wrong or cotroversial,to question God and the lord too,but do we all beleive simply because we're forced to?We're supposed to accepted whats said,and be opposed to neglect the rest of the big picture,shed whats left,and believe to be blessed,simply because its read in the scriptures?Now, allow me to clarify.I'm not saying that I deny the existence of God,it's just that I find it hard,to comprehend, the current trend of religion,and how it's so easy, to start,stop change, and keep switchin'!Like a novelty,there seems to be a prophecy,designed to be, properly altered in property,to satisfy the diversified policies,of societys hipocricy.THAT'S WHAT'S SO HARD FOR ME.Like a childhood game, of seek and go hide,you pick and choose, the rules that you live by?Well, I refuse to believe,I'll be judged in the afterlife,by food that I ate, and staying out late at night.I write with sight,not claiming to be wrong or right,but I take this odd stance, at the slight chance,that I might shed a little light on life.The words I spoke, won't provoke my demise,unless,of course,they've been laced with lies.See, all the answers, for which you've been wishing,through all your passages, on your quest for religion,can be found if you start the path from within.I DONT want to sound righteous,but it's all inside of us,TRUTH,is the beam of light that's guiding us.For some it's hiding,thus,finding is difficult,but following behind blindly, wont help bring it out.All the pages,passed down through the ages,stories of the past, predicting life changes,makes me wonder, just where the base is.How did it start?How did we begin to take part, in this art, of accepting what's been told,just because it happened, in days of the old?I stand on this stage, in a state of confusion,pondering truth, in the stories they're using.See, then,there was miraculous wonders,healing the sick,and parting of waters,God would speak, begin to give orders,feeding the hungry.and,wine from the water.Now I appeal.Is it real or thought up?If all these things,could happen back then,wouldn't NOW be the perfect time,for a miraculous happening?This makes me wonder if,now pardon my diction,but have the Gideons written, a book of fiction?And that's just one,there's a thousand more, begining life stories,each with their own spin on the glory,and each one swears,that theirs is authentic,"the other man's plan's a scam,all redorick,see what you're missing,become a part of it..."Is there really a difference,between religion and politics?So, you hold your beliefs, with faith and pride,but what if you were placed in anothertime?Would your current beliefs be thought to be lies???Look,I'm just a guy, with a pen and some time ,and these are the thoughts, surrounding my mind.I don't claim to be right,I don't claim to have answers,and i'm NOT saying,having faith is a bad thing.I only want the world to stop for a minute,take what you know and look further in it,take just a second,soak in what I've mentioned,turn around your wheel, and change your direction,question convention,with the mind you've been blessed with,and then you might understand, my perspective. -clarity Written March 11th, 2002 © on Mar 11 2002 07:23 AM PST 0 • 9
