The universal conspiracy of the universe a.k.a. life

I still haven't figured out life

And I struggle to pay rent or attention

I sometimes doubt there's meaning to life

- Or to being a slave of social convention

 

But it pays off to know

That the universe works in mysterious ways:

events are secretly interrelated

as life is a complex matrix of secrets, matter,

time measured in days,

and people who matter and leave

-to teach us a lesson,

and people who matter and stay

- to share those secrets with us.

 

They all matter, 
and have things to do

they all have a purpose.

And so do you.

"You are truly beautiful"

M.S.N.

The simple truth of the average person

They love out of vanity
and spite -
there's no good intentions
nor sanity -
just vice.
Their world is a mirror
reflecting their silhouettes -
simple people telling lies
and smoking cigarettes.

Vanity is sanity

Vanity is sanity
selflessness
an abyss,
in a world where living isn't loving
and loving is a shame;
where we fight wars
with violence
and criminals claim rights,
and peace policies take lives,
and loving husbands beat miserable wives;
where money is spent on things that make us miserable;
We buy and buy
and try to hide the holes we've dig.
Listless eyes
lifeless minds
lack of reason
or courage
to admit that we are at war
with ourselves.

Dark green eyes

Dark green eyes
stare at you
within them something quietly dies.
Hope stays
when lingering lies
occupy their depths of despair.
Dark green eyes
blissfully stare
filled with pleasure and pain;
for every moment of rapture
a fare
is due to be paid.
Deeper than ocean,
my dark green eyes,
you are soon to be taken
far away to the skies.
