truth?

consequences?


(who made the rules, anyway?)








are you ready for a little self-analysis?... truth?... what decides how you feel about yourself?... is it what you do?... is it what you do compared to what others can do?... is it what others think or say about you?... is it how others react to you?... what decides what you think about yourself?...

what determines your self worth?

there was a time when I lived what a lot of people, maybe most, would call a high life... for many years I did not think much about money except to send out checks to pay the bills for the things I wanted and the fun I had... maybe it was a childish way, but if you can afford it, would you grow up?...

what is growing up anyway?

a lot of people came around then... they cheered me and enjoyed the things I bought and the good times I paid for... not that they didn't pay for some times... well, some of them did... none of them come around now...

it is strange how most humans I've met judge each other and themselves... instead of looking deeply into each others eyes and basing their opinions on the person's intentions, ideals, and heart, most people look at the clothes or jewels one wears, the car one drives, the house one lives in, or the places one goes to eat or play... most people judge each other on the toys they can buy, rather than on the meaning they can bring into each others lives...

that is   SO   sad

maybe it doesn't matter to you... maybe you don't think about stuff like this... maybe you never did, maybe you've forgotten... maybe you've never experienced the duality of humanity in regard to socio-economic judgments... maybe the word appraisal isn't part of your everyday vocabulary... or maybe you live a high life and never knew what it was to struggle 50 or 60 hours a week working at some job you may or may not enjoy just to barely stay one step ahead of bill collectors... or maybe you did and just don't remember when that was... in any case, for what it's worth, this one is for you...


what if I stopped remembering
would you remember me?
what if my mind undermined
everything I do
what if I was handicapped
couldn't walk or talk or see
what if it happened suddenly
then what would you do?

would you send out a brief memo
regarding me?
  just to let everyone know...
  just to let everyone know...
  just to let everyone know...


what if I stopped remembering
would you still care about me?
what if my mind did not know
everything you do
what if I was retarded
couldn't understand the world
what if it happened suddenly
then what would you do?

would you send out a brief memo
regarding me?
  just to let everyone know...
  just to let everyone know...
  just to let everyone know...


what if I could not live up to your expectations?
what if I forget how to even tie my shoes?
can you really promise you'd love me forever?
could your ego handle me
not remembering you?


what if all the lies and deceit that a life is built upon
was suddenly erased
and all the dreams you chased
as an innocent kid
were real again?

what if you suddenly remembered
life when you were ten
would you leave there again?

what if all the bonds and contracts that a life is built upon
were suddenly broken
and all the promises spoken
as an innocent kid
were real again?

what if you suddenly remembered
how to be a friend
would you leave there again?


what if I never came back
to a rich successful life
if I was willing to settle for
simpler things
like children do
what if I was no longer able
to support you as my wife
would you be willing to appreciate
simpler things
what would you do?

would you send out a brief memo
regarding me?
  just to let everyone know...
  just to let everyone know...
  just to let everyone know...
I had to go


would you send me a brief memo
just to let me know
you tried your best
  but in the end...

you had to go


and the world may never know, for you may never have to answer any of the questions... certainly you encounter many in your life... if you are alive... in fact, there are many in your readings here... how many have you answered?


hello?... hello?... hello?...
