Taco Bell Wizard

the mind is a stage

from the ghetto

into paradise

back into chaos

pursue this further

you will see 

good is defined by evil

or is it evil is defined by good?

we will see

always eventually 

we do see

how from the light

we define darkness

far across time

burned inside the mind

buried deep below the stage

something hard to remember

still harder to forget,

how the angel inside you

it is also a demon

what it is that you seek

is it defined by what repels you?

I love this. I particularly liked 'something hard to remember/even harder to forget.' That's a succinct and accurate description of the human mind when it comes to matters of great importance. I'm not sure if it was purposeful or not, but I picked up on a calling on Hegel's dialectic (a thing or concept needing both of their possible states to emerge), which prompts a new sort of appreciation for all things.

[Davidgeo]

The Hegel thing wasn't purposeful. At least not on purpose. I'm glad you liked the remember/forget line. That's the best part

Laozi 老子, Dao De Jing道德经, Chapter 2第二章

The world knows beauty as beauty, so ugliness exists；
The world knows good as good, so bad exists。
Existence and absence are born together，
Difficult and easy created together，
Long and short are relative，
High and low in opposition，
Sound and voice harmonize，
Before and after follow。

You tapped into the same perennial source of wisdom.

It's all perception and perspective... and one - coin. Life-by-viewpoint. It takes some a life's time to understand.

first came good. none of us knew what evil was until a line was crossed. sometimes we want hot sauce and other times not - maybe that's why drive thru's were created. nicely simmered food for thought.

I'm just glad they brought the seven layer burrito back, if for a limited time only. Thank you for stooping by Peter.

This is one of the best works on dichotomy I've ever read. Which variable is the independent one because one of them must be dependent on it.

[Davidgeo]

You should check out a book called Blood Meridian by Cormac Mccarthy. It's not directly relevant to my taco bell poem here but if you were to actually read that book, my tom foolery known as "poetry" will read slightly better.

(J double R Token would be pretty pissed off right now if he were alive to hear me talking like this)

[Kenneth The Poet]

I think I'll have to give it a read then

[JessyJacob]

How dare you talk about my son... Bsgftrtyhhrd and that bitchhjuuj roma j

[Davidgeo]

I assume that the end of that comment translates into english as "hello! How are you today David? I'm glad we are friends and it makes me feel warm knowing that I can speak my mind with you."

[JessyJacob]

Hi David ji,

If we think we have mind and mouth to speak nasty then definitely you will eat poop too and it will not take a day because it is already digested ...

Be careful when you are misusing your body parts don't think that nobody is watching you...

[Davidgeo]

Hi Jessy. It's always so nice to hear from you.

[Coffee123321]

Honestly, your work is amazing. It is deep and I feel like people should write more like this. It makes the world more...real. I love how it has a bit a darkness, but there's still light that moves around it as well. It's very thoughtful, and I really don't see why JayG thought it wasn't good.

[Davidgeo]

Thank you. I appreciate it. Fight the darkness.

[Ms claws]

Yes! We will see!
You have me coming more into the light.
I believe in you.

[Davidgeo]

Do you still?

[Ms claws]

DavidGeorge a deep well with lots of fissures to investigate, to patch or destroy completely.

[RomaJ]

I love how it moves between chaos and clarity, light and darkness, exploring the duality within the mind. The free-flowing structure mirrors the internal struggle beautifully, making it both thought-provoking and immersive.

Everything not doing mathematics defines 'clarity' subjectively. Humans do math but, it's not good math. We are a dirty species. Ants are better at existence.
