Paradox

Embedded image from another site

This world is full of delusions and our imaginations are trapped inside
Within this sphere some give into fear never mind the world outside
Excuses are made by common sense as maturity begins leaking from our mouth
But still we attempt to negotiate if there is a north there is a south
Some are in search of science while others believe religion is just a myth
I believe religion gives birth to hypocrites and science is a gift
So many claim to have everything and yet they always seem to want more
It's a thirsts that is never satisfied, but no other shapes fit in the hole
Sometimes in life we try to place the wrong pieces inside of the right times
Giving a name to complications authorizing entanglements design
And if on the day I feel incomplete when my flesh wants to let go
Will I truly escape with peace and life or die forever within my hell bent soul
And as I lay inside the womb of eternal sleep am I just food for the worms
Or does the earth absorb my body and my energy becomes one with the universe
One thing that I'm certain of is that the world will always turn
And if there is a Heaven and Hell one day we all will learn

OMG!!! Jesse, I needed to read this today...so powerful. It's such a hard space to live in sometimes, there's much.uncertainty in what we know as life. Even when we think we have got it right, we are challenged on a daily basis,,,that's where faith comes in. I love the ending of this poem....and if there is, a heaven and hell, one day we will learn...woe love your thoughts, my friendapplause dunno confused applause

Hi, fjamesj9701,
Paradox can take one in so many directions. I'm intrigued by the poet's line, Excuses are made by common sense as maturity begins leaking from our mouth. Thanks for sharing.

Strong poem strong words and the picture depicts so well as we all end our days alone in our own hell or heaven.
