suppose

indiscriminate –
obtrusive –
the frustration of a reality unintended.
what purpose creation –
ownership of concept –
if allowed to be flawed?
 
to try to understand the purpose of life without accepting the eventuality of death is frivolous – fictitious.
what would define hope if everything imagined was real –
tangible?
what reason would there be for faith in a world lacking supposition?
 
so often we raise our voice –
scream callous denigration –
to anyone that deviates from our predetermined paradigms of socially accepted behavior.
and if our articulation of doctrine fails to assuage the masses,
we reach into our arsenal of jurisprudence –
recite with zealous intent retributions from apocrypha of self-assumed conviction…
 
in the end –
judgment.
regardless action without faith –
faith without action –
submission to the author of creation stands paramount to absolution.
 
and yet i see you standing there –
self-imposed elevation –
placing accouterments of irrelevance on the scale of (un)belief..

forgiveness

words.
sometimes spoken in haste.
with deliberation we close our eyes –
hurl them like rocks against tin roofs.
perhaps its the sound of our frustration we need to hear.
regardless the damage resulting from the storm.
 
words.
sometimes captured –
corralled within the confines of black and white supposition.
less likely to be misread,
yet more available for misinterpretation –
inflection lost within the paradigms of silence.
 
words.
too many.
too few.
platform of inference.
epitaph of indifference.
how many moments of magnificent because of;
emotions subjugated by too few?
when compelled by conviction,
we manipulate monologues in an attempt to solicit solidarity.
our truth –
perfect;
our opinion –
unalienable.
and if,
by chance,
our doctrines met with opposition,
we fail to contemplate opportunity for conformity.
 
how sad –
to misunderstand the significance of the chaos!
of course –
life free of turmoil –
epitome of peace-on-earth –
preferred method of presentation.
 
but life survived in spite of;
experience of calm after the storm;
amazing spectacle of sunrise –
chasing demons of darkness into the light;
surely that contrast allows ownership of appreciation.
less likely are we,
in our human condition,
to take blessings for granted,
after spending time on our knees seeking recompense for behavior undeserving of even the presumption of forgiveness…
