Substance & Symbols
accumulate merit you can do it all alone
Some use Exodus to liberate the soul
Others use Egypt to subjugate the mind
in service of the soul
Don’t get hung up on the symbols
Justice is blind
it only sees the substance
not the symbols
Unlock the key to your flight path
What symbol fits your heart
Hard relentless work every day to kindle the fire inside your command center
Congratulations you saw God
Now you forgot to kindle, thinking about enlightenment instead of lighting the wood
Now your dead and no one cares the only sufferer is yourself
Accumulate merit you can do it all alone
It all starts on the bed in the darkness.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
