Description
BLACKS, WHITES, SHADES OF GRAY
LAWS … sacred ‘THOU SHALT NOTS’ of centuries
Conveniently condemning evils for the sake
Of ruling clans or holy creeds all set
To sanctify who lives, who’s saved, who’s damned.
LAWS … reason’s icy logic proving how
Existence ‘BIG BANGED” into being; how
We count the DNA of who and what
We are, our astral physics bending time
And space upon themselves extinguishing
Tomorrow’s hope of numbering its stars.
COLORS …
Demonic blacks in inquisitions thrust
On tortured nightmares with no grace to grasp
Truth. Our angelic white perfections are
Mirages out of touch with facts. God’s most
Beloved saints wear crowns of tragic thorns,
The holiest among us bear Job’s doubts;
Not even devils can escape their hells.
It’s grays … those ecstasies of ashes make
Life bearable: remembering a rose
Perfume that haunted springtime’s fleeting breaths,
Electric comets taunting darkness with
Men strutting on its sterile moon, the first
Embrace with flesh before duration turned
A rapture in habits … jaded now
And bored to death with time. But music still
Infects my soul and resurrected thoughts
Of moments gone encourage me to shout:
“I’VE LIVED AND JOYOUSLY ALIVE!”

Oh yes, it's the grays that I find more and more fascinating and authentic the older I get. Excellent work, my friend.

Wow, your last line strikes a chord deep within me; you know you've lived when you've been thru hell. And if things can get that bad, I know there's good every bit as wonderful. ALIVE--yes!!

Wonderful work. The problem with Western, organized religion is that it is patently false and wishes to reduce complexity into simplicity, but simplicity is someting fit only for imbecilles. Life, love, and joy are all dark things, hazy things, murky things, because life, love and joy are all complex. They are the union of light and dark, they are the offspring of the two in exactly the same ways that colors are little more than interactions between light and shadow: frequencies of light taken out of synch with the relentless, forward motion of light itself give us the colors we see. Not just gray, but Violet, and Red, Brown, and...ugh...charchruse. This piece of work reveals that, and I revel in the knowledge that someone else has the guts to stand up and say, "Hey, gray is good." It takes a real human to do that. Great work.

Beware the one who has no doubt. Revealed truth is just another power grab. Gray can be a lonely path but it is always so much more interesting and satisfying. Brilliant stuff.
