Where is our tether?
What binds these avatars to all that is?
Rootless, what do we do for this world?
What value from our injection here?
#
Water binds fish to streams & seas.
Does the air bind me?
Capillaries & chlorophyll tie leaves to trees.
Am I connected, am I free?
#
Avatars be damned.
Stop living in make believe.
I breath. I love. I touch. I see.
Flesh and blood I am.
#
Reality is here & now.
Don’t buy the gawds or astrology.
Leave the magic, the superstition.
Truth is simple, yet hard to believe.
#
Like souls, avatars be.
Useless misrepresentations
of you and of me.
We inject mystery, exaggerations.
#
Evolved predators all homo sapiens,
Without souls but huge imaginations,
Kill and eat in complete admission.
Delible lives without submission.
#
I am who I am. I leave what I leave.
I cannot live another way.
I die and will not live another day.
There is no magic, no mystery.
#
Experience life’s pleasure and pain,
Its heartache and amazement.
Glean what you can along the way.
Leave this place better than you found it.
