Freedom

Freedom is an illusion. No one is free from their own personal experience of reality, and we as a people are slaves to the limited connection through which we relate to existence. Experiencing freedom is the result of faith in the order of things unknown. As such, we pull a veil over our minds and tell ourselves that we understand that which we do not. By ignoring our ignorance we manifest the illusion of freedom.

Great nations build themselves up on this illusion of freedom, and demand moral authority in the name of this freedom.

Yet, morality and authority are illusions as well.

As always, everything is an illusion. Even the illusions are illusions.

Paranoia

I stare out the hole in my door,
watching the translucent faces float here and there.
I am sick, and then I am sick.
The voices call from a distance, angry shouts and mario calls.
Out of the corner of my eye my coming doom waits always.
My thoughts are obscurred by possibilities.
