Rants and Rambles

Looking out over the vast oceans of rants and rambles

I keep rolling my pants legs higher and higher

The bullshit just keeps getting deeper and deeper

One lie spawns another and another

Until I am standing in shit up to my neck

What are we to believe anymore

Who can we trust

What can we trust

One told one that told another

And they all told another

And so on and so on

We are products of our screwed up environment

Manifestations of mayhem

Concoctions of chaos

Completely unaware of our original reason for existence or destination

Like ants in a small box

We inch to and fro on a small speck of dust

Like fish in a tank we move back and forth

Never content with what we have

We need more and more and more

Gotta get all we can get before somebody else gets it

The way I look at it

You are born, you live, and you die

That’s it in a nutshell

You are born, you live, and you die

You don’t need to know where you came from

 You don’t even need to know where you are

And you damn sure don’t need to know where you are going

So shut up and smell the roses

Just enjoy the moment

Learn to just be for awhile

Climb off your high horse

Put your feet on the ground and sit a spell

Reach out and touch somebody

I mean really touch them

Dip down deep into your humanity

Don’t be so afraid to touch the core of your being

Take off your blinders

Take off your false face

The self you’ve created is not who you are anyway

The person you thought you knew

You don’t know at all

Stop trying so hard

You can’t prove it

You can’t sell it and you won’t overcome it

So just disregard it

Shuck it off one piece at a time

And you will find absolutely nothing to fret about
