And yet another rhyme from my bag of brine:
What can you say to a blind man?
What can you show the deaf?
The gods will only hurt those who try and hurt themselves.

To Awaken to This, you not only can have "nothing to hide,"
but you can not even feel as though there is, or should be, anything to hide.

Just between us, what I am really bringing to you is a new kind of religion:
but not a religion of man-the-mass, but of man-as-energy.
(...and you still fail to grasp the enormity of it all.)

Forever and ever Mankind has proclaimed it their duty
to "be themselves"... ...all I want to know is "what's stopping them?"
(or do we overlook the obvious?)

 

I think it would serve us well to periodically recall,
repeat and ponder humanity's motto:
Let us all stand,
with hands over our mouths
and recite together the pledge:

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT."
