the philosopher

to do unto others or do unto me

life of the part or the whole?

fusion with nature or fission against -

does "life" have a "positive roll"?

then there i found it, the truth from abyss

i received the meaning of life like a kiss

so great was its glory, so clear and so pure

this was the morsel to put end to war!

and feed all the hungry and sane the insane -

i held the cure to everyone’s pain!

the thought burned on brightly, it grew in my mind

re-training each single perception inside

and when it had finished, soul mended at last

i could not imagine my "self" of the past

without old perceptions i saw troubles anew

and sat down again to re-realize 'true'

i puzzled and pondered the changes that placed

i looked for a difference, my nervous brain raced

today i continue like ever before

seeking a Truth of life that is sure
