Restoring The True Self

"Restoring The True Self"
January 28, 2007

We have lost our true selves
You and I
We members of this broken human race
Lacking in fearless self-examination
We embrace the emptiness of our disease --
This broken
Shattered
Humanity.

We embrace our selfish
Egotistical desires
Abandoning ourselves of any responsibility
To anyone else other than our instincts.
No suffering or ego deflation for us.
We'll just smoke some blow,
Drown ourselves in the oblivion of tequila,
Sex it up with some crack whore
Down the street who doesn't
Even know your name.

This ignorance
This compulsion towards emptiness
Against which everything else is denial
Lies to us sweetly
Like the sweet utterances of a lover in the
Throws of passion
Seductively digging her claws into your flesh
As she grinds her pelvis
Into the depths of your empty little soul.

Form is without emptiness
And emptiness is without form.
That which is form is emptiness
That which is emptiness form.
Unskillful actions are but potentials
Activated by our minds
Which can neither be created nor destroyed.
Wisdom beyond wisdom.
No good or evil.
No knowledge to be gained.
No obstacles
No fears.
Nothing really to be obtained.
Just awakening.
Sweet awakening.
Beyond the sea of denial and disease.
