Taste Our Sickness

Taste Our Sickness

*** 


For our whole life 
We were told how to be 
Spoon fed media 
Conditioned by society 

We've been well trained  
Made to be stupid 
Told to follow 
We're so sick

Can't you see why 
Life makes no sense 
Why we're so lost
Why we're so dense

We're also told 
This is how it must be 
By the wise men 
Of practicality 

Look at yourself
Taste your sickness 
Of your condition 
Be your own witness

Can't you see why 
Life makes no sense 
Why we're so lost 
Why we're so dense

The radicals will tell you 
With guns in their hands 
Tear down the walls 
Strike up the ban 

When they say kill 
For ideology 
Go your own way 
Don't follow tyranny 

Can't you see why 
Life makes no sense 
Why we're so lost 
Why we're so dense

When the priest says 
I hold the key 
Question anyone 
Who says they 
Can set you free 

It's high time my friend 
To look within
So you can look out 
See deeper than skin 

Can't you see why 
Life makes no sense no
Why we're so lost 
Why we're so dense

Missing Self

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...
