This book holds no answers

I see.
You and me 
and all of us 
have these moments 
too impossible to mention.
We think they are 
too feeble to mean anything. 
So we cover them up 
with beautiful 
and exciting adventures 
and forget all about them. 
We delude 
our potential. 

We promise ourselves that 
we shall live every ounce of this wretched life 
to the fullest. 
Wasting time is sinful. 
Living, 
forcibly is a deafening
churning 
conspicuous turmoil. 
A flagrant legacy. 
Every silent minute spent in search of 
your own truths and standards 
apart from the ruling belief system 
is punishable by social rejection. 
Which is like death 
for a living being. 
Our weakness 
makes us fold. 
Obeisant. 
As if we are unable 
and unworthy to discover 
and develop our own morals. 
Our self-worth. 
That is something 
all of them have feared 
always. 
Because they know 
we have the only true 
heavenly mandate over our own spirit. 
They dread the day that 
this innate consciousness will truly open up 
on us. 
Then we will all push them away 
for something far bigger 
and far simpler. 

I say 
most compassion is superficial. 
Helping others exceeds 
feeding, 
dressing 
or housing them. 
It is more than merely saving 
or absolving them. 
And it certainly is the opposite 
of helping them realize 
by shrewd and deceitful reasoning 
that their dying position 
is a path of merit. 
A spiny climb 
to compensation.

I believe 
that in our last moments 
all forgotten 
feeble emotions 
will align like the planets sometimes do.
And you will feel them accumulate 
into regret. 

You should have explored them 
when you had the chance. 
In a way 
you knew 
it had to be done. 
Now it is too late. 
Back then 
when you buried 
and repressed them 
you were clearly aware 
this settlement 
would come. 

Now all you can do 
is recite the cryptic questions 
and oracular babble 
in obscure tongues 
from the book without answers. 
What profound lows 
have we diminished ourselves to. 
What intricate labyrinths 
they have devised for us 
to get lost in. 
To lose ourselves in. 

You just wasted 
your years on 
something that was way less 
than what you already had 
before the outset. 

Close your eyes 
and you will discover everything. 
Finally the intrigue 
will no longer be able to pull you down. 
The shallow lies 
do not stretch beyond 
the boundaries they claim to govern. 

True freedom awaits. 

Lightyears away 
from any pathetic perception of 
appraisal 
judgement 
verdict 
or sentence.
