The Grandelusion (http://whgbetc.com/oldsoul/grandelusion.html)
(2 C 2 B Deceived)*

We have all been deluded
This is all a grand illusion
A mistaken perception of reality
We have all been ill-used
Mal-treated
Had our brains blown out
Some of us so bad
There's no way our minds can wrap around
The grandness of this wicked delusion
The magnificence of this terrible illusion
This 1984/matrix/marx brothers/3 stooges reality movie
We act like we're living in.
And no matter how much we cling to
Our liberal hopes
Our religious convictions
Our spiritual beliefs
The truth is that its gonna take all that
And some guns and plosions too
Exes and ems
And a lotta us will probably die
As will a whole lotta them
Cause they got to bring some asz to get some asz
Which is the moral of this story
The point of this allegory
The missed of this mystery
The gist of this history
Is to move your mind forward in time
Where you can see us all in freedom
And you'll see the path to leed um
Can you summon up the courage
Will you find the inner strength
To defy the grand deception
And escape the labyrinth?

wow! this took my mind and made me think and rethink
from da stat of mind from this grandelusion ! awesome reality check here .

OldSoul...your name is so befitting
...you leave me without words more
often than I can remember over
this weary lifetime and tired eyes
that have seen too much...

But...
When I read you...I am continuously awestruck
your wisdom, talent, gift...teachings...I could go on
for days into eternity trying to describe how
profound I find your work...

Absolutely Prodigious...
I have no words that are "just" enough...
so I will show you....instead :bowdown:

In reverence...

Some, and sometimes "some" don't come in small quanities, wear Deception as a layer of skin...and that's a deep thing. And surely a lot of us will die, as sure as some that's dead (mental death) will arise.
...we die, ...as well as "multiply"
thought for today:
"For what good is a gun...if you don't know how to shoot it"
this is an awesome piece, thanks for the insight of reality.

Brother you took me away with this one

very good write....got a sista thinking

very thought provoking to where it hits home

thanks for sharing your wisdom with us

Peace
Angel

You bring us much to ponder, as you always do, no surprise there. But what this piece makes me wonder about all the more is where are we going as a people...are we going to come together, and what is going to come about that will cause that to happen? Yes, I do have a lot of questions...Thank you for this.
