You (deception)... WISDOM has eyes...


At all costs you
want ascendance,
and the power to direct
another’s soul. With levity,
aloofness, and façade, you scheme.
Using beguiling wiles you demean and excoriate
as you offer up hollow half-truths. Why is it you pretend
to accept what you are incapable of giving?

Anyone can be dismissive.
And anyone can transmute on a daily
basis to empower personal agendas. Thankfully,
because of your nature, you often fail.
But then…
you lie blatantly
about your failures in a
convoluted scheme to save face.
And then, to add fuel to the inferno,
You cast aside, with no remorse, the victims
of your machinations as artlessness is crushed from them
in the wine-press of a misdirected and debased nature.

Deception!
YOU have always
been a house of mirrors,
illegally wrought for levitation,
foundationless and contrived, an
outpouring of porous philosophies,
proffered from perverse lips,
as never-ending diversions
intended to distract
seekers from their
true callings.

You forget that
WISDOM HAS EYES that
see deeply into (your) nature.
WISDOM UNDERSTANDS those things that
are concealed, and WISDOM SEES, and disdains all
that hides and festers BETWEEN THE CRACKS.
WISDOM DISCERNS those things that are
disguised as good within the motes
of any loathsome nature.
And WISDOM HOLDS AT BAY
all that masquerades as another Truth.
WISDOM COMPREHENDS and rejects whatever offers false hope.
And WISDOM ALWAYS KNOWS when the
deceiver is blinder than its deception.
WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING ARE UNITED eternally
to the source of all life, and, thanks to HIM, all the
lying-minions deception presently controls,
will eventually be chained and cast
into the outer darkness’s.

So, given this…

What is evil let me see as evil, but what is true , and noble, and pure, all things unspoilt, if there is any moral excellence, or anything laudable, strengthen me to meditate on these things. And I am fully persuaded that all that is good in me, and all that is estimable, – the empowerment I have been invested with to bless others – these things the world did not give me; heaven did, and I must find comfort and rejoice always because the world can never take these singularities from me.
