And So It Goes Again

“Hurry up please, it’s time.”

Last call at the pub,

last call for humanity.

Too late for second thoughts.

“What’s it all about, Alfie?

Is it just for the moment we live?”

There is no other now than this now.

What part of now don’t you understand?

We are the quick and the dead.

“You don’t have to be quick to live here,

but, it’s over.”

The truth is always positive…we live

we die, that’s it.

Any questions?

I’m sure there are a few, but

that doesn’t change the fact.

That fact could be a wake up call,

an inspiration to look around and see,

instead of believing what you’ve been told.

It’s a choice we always have until we don’t.

Belaboring the obvious truth is what  Buddhist

teachings do.

It’s all they do.

They are the Terminator of ego,

if you’re into that sort of thing,

and why shouldn’t you be?

It’s the only path to freedom.

Just ask those that practiced it

over thousands of years.

It’s rare to even encounter the Buddhist

point of view,

let alone be attracted to it,

let alone resonate with it,

let alone Grok it,

let alone follow the path,

yada, yada, yada attain liberation.

It’s a shaggy dog story without a punchline

which is the punchline.

“No trudging through vast Arabies of hot meaning.”

Simply recognizing what’s true according to one’s 

own common sense wisdom, if you can make

heads or tails of that.

Jolly good luck, Frens!
