You Know This...

Man's inhumanity

     is, at its core,

     his animal instinct

     for mere survival,

     another part of us

     we must transcend

     to be able to do more;

     to progress Beyond

     the Garden of Ignorance

     into the Light of Reason;

     from the Ambivalence

     of Learned Behavior

     to the understanding of concepts;

     the difference between

     Knowing and Believing,

     between Realizing

     and merely repeating,

     between a jabbering parrot

     and an Eagle screaming

     as he flies upward

     into clouded Sky,

     searching for the true

     Light of Day...

Seek what was Lost

long before we were born;

look beyond what

you have been told;

some never grow up,

while others just grow old,

waiting, always waiting

for Salvation that never comes,

the Great Lie

or so I have been told...
