Tired

 I'm tired,
Tired of the endless waltz of false prophets,
Tired of the self proclaimed-pedestalized-pundits,
who are nothing but, bandits in disguise.

I'm tired of people poisoning themselves
with the careless use of their minds.

I'm tired of those who speak of god as if they know,
as if they have something to show.
You have nothing but the regurgitated proclamations,
of the false that came before.
I'm tired of all the bullshit love and light,
If you ask, I'll tell you right where you can shove it,
but it wouldn't fit anyway,
because you're so damn uptight. 

all the pontificating,
all the performing,
all the pandering....

Where is the honesty?
Where is the humility?
Where is the desire to dance with the unknown?

I get it, you want certainty,
we all want certainty,
but certainty is a lie,
and that desire, is,
and will continue to be,
used against you.

Why do you throw away your dignity?
Why do you throw away the capacity for your own knowing,
for the fast-food fallacies,
transmitted from every screen?

The uncertainty is only going to continue to rise,
Ideologies, religions, cults, and movements of the likes you've never seen,
all will prey upon your want of metaphysical security.
They will dissolve the dignity of your individual being.

Community is important, but you cannot have a thriving community,
without an empowered individuality.

Some are so in their heads, they forget they have hearts,
Others, so self important, they won't give reason a shot.

Fuck man, I've never been so tired.
 heart so heavy,
 head so fried.

I thought, over time, I'd be able to join in,
to live the lie,
but the more I see,
the more something in me rejects the disguise.
