In The End

by john soprych

In The End,

you Believe in

some dam god or another.

Either you embrace

the gods of your

Mothers,

or you adopt one,

off the rack,

Either Classically Whole,

or Eclectically Ala Cart.

And if you chose the latter approach,

more often than not,

The Spirit becomes dessicated,

not only from

the tedious terms,

but also by the arid

logic required.

A 'Peace' that conforms to

your current irregularities.

To what you are Now.

And, although it seems to,

not only fit,

but also flatter,

by providing this...

...”unconditional love”:

It no longer informs :(

For this god was created

out of the

Deification

of your own

Reflection

And so your Spiritual Journey

Was cut short

-- by Definition.

For it was not conceived out of

some troublesome Virtue,

but was frozen

by the desire

for

comfort and fashion...

...in the Vanity

of the

“Now”
