Reality...Like It or Not!

life

If only the world was a stage

And we, merely players, then

We could easily rewrite the present.

But we are not actors on a stage

And the true cosmic conglomeration

Is reality, and the only true exit

Is the numerous ones of ole death.

And though not proud, its popularity

Has become an overwhelming entity,

And all entrances are tested.

There are no comedies of errors in reality;

All that is, is a reality that is, what it is.

There are no praised Romeos and Juliette

Tragedies; there is no sanity in applauding

Starving children and those murdered

And hanging from room-doors of insanity

And wars fought for Trojan Horse-like fantasies.

No longer can Slaver and the Holocaust

Be as if mere footnotes at the bottom end

Of the chosen pages of inked history; for in

The fatal shadows of these realities lay the truth

Unveiled for all eyes to see and perceive.

The man in the moon led to a billion-dollar fantasy;

But should billions starving on earth remain a reality? 

Let not our wise saws to be dead staged mementoes;

Let us rather, ensure that they become lived realities.

God is not a bard; He’s the Creator of all seen and unseen.

And the world is not a stage, but the essence of His Being.
