I don’t possess eloquence.

The way I speak isn’t correct.

Slang, slurred slipping across vocal cords,

and social norms.

Looks of contempt and superiority

condemning me for lack of vocabulary and cognition

Fuck You.

Your lack of acceptance has rendered you bitter

Who are you to swing the gavel

just because I choose not to exercise my lyrical

prowess, or join in your organization of faux knowledge,

your prideful hubris has inebriated you

oh you unenlightened educated masses.

Seeking gods through epistemology and so-called

classic literature.

Or perhaps attempting to become God himself.

Thats impossible. this is where that unenlightened education has its genesis.

Contrary, (or perhaps not) to Plato and Aristotle

This Nirvana comes not from classical knowledge

or awareness of the humanities

rather, it is derived from an inward relationship.

A symbiotic communication between the soul and mind.
Having this internal line isn’t sufficient.

Being able to decipher the oddity of the mixed language they speak

yet

also being capable of choosing who to listen

this self awareness is the first stage of enlightenment

 

how can one believe that the universe occurred by chance

how one can believe that there is scientific knowledge and research

and that is the origin, baffles me.

The concept of forced conversion, a term coined by opposers of encomienda, is sickening.

I dont intend to say that one should only believe in my God, ( though you should)

but to choose an atheistic world view is narrow minded and often is only used

as a platform for hate and argument.

A belief in a higher power is essential to enlightenment.

without this

How can one sit atop a mountain, and contemplate the structure upon which one sits.

or sit in the wood

whilst ears revel in the glorious symphony of nature.

I don’t intend to take away from the glory of acquiring knowledge.

The quest to understand has been the defining characteristic of man for eons

don’t use this knowledge as leverage.

it is designed for helping the fellow man

to enhance humanity

not destroy it

push to new intellectual heights

reach for the stars

learn all that you can

use it to encourage others

teach young minds

Do not condemn

I write to all

to pursuers of knowledge who feel superior

to even those on the same quest

forget yourself.

Use your strength to help carry those.

For I do not possess eloquence

the way I speak isn’t correct

And I have no plans of changing.
