i'm an agnostic
who feels holy
from time to time
i think that our memories
are what most people call God
when a split second
means more to you
than an entire year
has ever meant to you
in retrospect
when you smell, touch, or see
something
that makes you travel time
when you see a friend
you haven't seen in years
makes you feel
like no time had passed at all
since you last embraced them
when you feel exactly how you
can't feel right now
reading this..
when the magic isn't there
but will be some day soon
this is where
I can place my beliefs

back.
it's me
that's crawling to you
i turned away from you
out of cowardice
when your finger met my back
i broke
because i realized
you never turned yours
that's crawling to you
i turned away from you
out of cowardice
when your finger met my back
i broke
because i realized
you never turned yours

is being cultural?
Are you willing to admit that your being in itself means absolutely nothing without culture? Life doesn't seem like a closed system -- it is. These very words will most likely read as morose or even nihilistic -- but ask yourselves why first.
I'm willing to bet that the eastern philosophers were closer to whatever 'truth' people seek. "Peace comes from within, do not seek it without". These witty aphorisms
go against the very concept of how being is so dependent on culture. Then where did we go wrong? Was culture inevitable? Is culture the bitter aftertaste of a medicine that if not taken, we would have faced extinction?
Why do you give a care? Is it because you are 'here'? Is your being hanging on the thread of some delusional belief bedtime story you tell yourself at night? Fiction is a large enterprise in culture -- the stories we tell ourselves to buffer ourselves from the dark void of meaninglessness. If anything can bring meaning to one's life, than why do we have such pathetic organizations such as islam, christianity and judaism? Is this the epitome of human experience and meaning?? Is this how humanity best shines? I'd be willing to guess that the real truth people have within is 'no' -- their excuse is that those organizations are the only things they have ever 'known'. People should know more. But if you close off your mind, nothing and everything is possible.
So open wide and swallow bitter taste of a lifeline in which you have no choice but to take membership in -- but just think what Being would feel like without culture. I dream about it.
