Lifting the Curtain

Wed, 08/06/2014 - 14:50 -- DNigmA

I am you, and you are me

Together we make humanity

Shall we go further?

It is us, and we are it

What is it really?

Everything is it

Existence is creation

WE should not bicker

The truth is a trick

A greater lie in disguise

Uncovering it takes talent

Unification of creation

Masking these differences

All are truly connected

Through beautiful contradictions

And enigmatic equations

We always lead to a question

Never discovering answers, but hints

Clues in the process of interpretation

But interpretation all the same

Never did a system of language

Fall from the sky, from what we know

We created one

From the numbers we use

To represent our problems

To the words, seeping onto paper

Like blood on the battlefield

The mind is at war, and it always has

Using our skills of mental gymnastics

We vault over the contradictions

Landing into a pillow of comfort

We live to die

That is the most we know

We survive by creating reasons to live

Because we’d rather live than die

But we still don’t know

Our body will decay

And our spirit will…

That begs another question

Still leading into

We are each other,

Each other are we

Together we make

A reality
