BuildingA Poem by Ben
A blueprint and the workers
The builder the buyer the raw materials The technology Nature winning and staying always ahead of science The natures of our natures 2nd nature thought as first Simplistic in who I am Appearance, what I look like How I come across conceit, what I think about myself The impression I give All from one thing This present moment My breathing Without bulky awareness With innate dexterity Spontaneity, a fresh look A natural change adaption evolution Contradictions welcome, spectrums edited Interconnected inter-lapping Unimportance meets weightiness Unconcerned meets sincere Frolicking grazing meets focus My modern castle in suburban neo-post-christiondom Not without the help of impersonal fellow citizens Not without the sacrifice people made for earning pesos, yuan, or rupees Not quite with you in your bubble of the matrix and the movies The real-life horror scope Accepted less than persisted through Is it their ignorance or mine That larger empires concocted unaccountability through accountants The old are vs the young Or is this still a part of divide and conquer They are ashamed, or should be The weight reality and karma won't fully succomb to your trillion dollar PR industry, you know So I'll abstain from a castle and a great big loan I'll let them fill out their classes and suck a*s 365 To try to gainer a promotion of perhaps another 3-7 k this year to bring to that home To try to bring to the international tax system, resource burning system Renewable resource number one controlling system It's illegal to do anything or make anything of value and not pay taxes in the process This forgotten law might as well be a commandment, no we take this law more seriously But it is so much second nature, like no people ever traded goods or bartered crops without including England or Rome, or Engrome The strenuous tight rules to counting money and looting and being a crook about the world The rules to the game we have all figured out The natural science we have all approached and decided on Idiosyncratic guileless eccentricity showing through All these hang-ups Can they rot to set-backs Can they rust to regrets You have to decide on something You can't be all ways And just don't think that karma isn't mental Limiting ourselves and choosing fates in a way that is almost mystical So revved up so intensely wrapped up economic headway Listen, isn't the thing to know about money That their is only available money versus captital So it should be no hard task then, to see How this all works, most of us so drivel for trinkets And hollow status symbols Most of us inheriting the marketing 20th century or the christiandom dozen before It's all shackles, even the 21st century version, served on plastic baked by machines Pop version of the real thing, no it's better when you have unhealthy sustenance to not realize what your eating Unless awareness or the right question as they say is 50% and obvious to follow All I'm saying is getting caught up in all of it out there Like us 90s people I'm thinking all breathed It's good to unplug from that And at a slower wavelength Market to yourself The sacred element of the world that's already there The serene joy of a not uptight spirituality The purchase is not so plain, hardly as straightforward Find a suitable blueprint and add to it adjust it or change it According to the air The environment And what is second nature for a culture What is un-second-guessed Couldn't anything be that way It requires extra effort to truly contain sympathy Because after all, we all go our own way, and all die alone We all feel our own pain and that excusable But when we all have our own pre-occupation in coins Like on some addictive video game We forget to enjoy the moment and listen to it And open our eyes, always keeping them open Close them for 60 seconds quietly then open them again Take a new look at this vista Gander at now It's free, the parks the grandeur you can't, you don't have to own it The border between my 2,000 ft castle with its hedge or fence, is only that stable As a basic lock is only good enough to keep an honest man honest These lines in going in to another yard, Yard after yard might keep us from the universe If you take their border, and containment, and temporary legality over-seriously We can't take one penny with us Not your favorite jewel or your old iPhone You can take none of those things you strive after attaining, for the road If you still have you memories And you still have spiritual pursuits in a ephemeral heart And your soul and mind in some part fail to dissolve with your body and name among people Then those memories, of the same shape, plus two parts dream, as they are now Are all that You'll have What are the best parts of your memories We're they really things We're you really able to shadow out your identity Like everyone else, with that commercial fickle proud identity based so much on your things? © 2014 Ben |
