To Love Hate or to Hate Love!

To Accept or to Reject!

If we feel history maybe repeating itself.

Should we consider our actions that could be supporting this hell.

Do you wake up each day like it was yesterday.

Your thoughts were the same I’ll start tomorrow you’d say,

Am I still holding a heart full of hate

Blaming you for always being late

Clumsy and stupid, judgmental, insane

Caught up on the concept of life here today

Putting things off for another day

That diet you planned never came

That business adventure you never per sued,

Stuck in a job that gives you the blues,

Disagree with everyone to stay relevant

Your voice is so loud your ego too proud.

Too afraid to take that leap of faith

I’ll stick with what I know because it’s safe,

I don’t know if I’m ready for the unknown place,

Perhaps this explains why we’re here today!

Dividing each other, not ready to change,

Blaming each other for our misfortunes today!

Life’s pretty good but incomplete without hate

You can love all you want, it only exist because of hate.

What if life was a just game

No care or concepts for playing it safe,

Ripping through shells like a prostitute on dates

Experiencing the self spread all over the place

The deepest love in the ugliest of ways

Driving you mad and totally insane

Do we have the ability to repurpose the game

Sometimes I think I might disengage

Understand myself without guilt, fear or shame

But I’m too addicted each day that I wake

To pick up my cards and continually engage

I’m one hand away from drawing that Ace

To lift me out of this miserable place,

I feel detached from societal ways,

going through the motions until our final days,

Chasing possessions it all feels so fake,

It doesn’t feel right continuing to play,

A hand in a game that’s lost it’s ways,

Maybe one day I’ll put the cards away.

What if life was one big casino,

Controlled by a house of political egos

Rigging the game to keep you controlled

Could you walk away before you get too old,

Are you in too deep a never ending hole

Praying on a miracle, then you discover your soul,

Give away all your chips, disconnect from the whole,

Consciousness that likes to be told,

How to live life to maybe feel safe,

Only to be shocked and slapped in the face,

Through some kind cyclical catastrophe

Losing everything You worked hard to earn

Maybe there’s a lesson for us all to learn

One last hand before I cash it all in,

Continuing to play is the biggest Sin.

I’d love to see the manual, for playing this game

Some live to conquer and control those below

Others live in peace with no stake or claims,

The rest are still trying to make sense of it all,

Is The promise of wealth worth giving your time for?

Hopefully make it before this shell is a corpse.

divided and segregated by those you vote for

Keeping us all, engaged in the game

Ensuring history stays exactly the same,

I wonder if you can ever really clock this game,

Ascend to the masters become a witness of all

Then perhaps I’d realise we all had the same thoughts

Insecurities and fears built on a system full of rots

Could you live in a world where we all got along

Everyone agreed no hatred no hell,

Just sunshine and rainbows

Dancing to the same song?

I certainly couldn’t live, in a world like that

A place without low points you’d never discover your soul

How would you know you experienced anything at all

If everyone around you just bloody got along.

It’s nice to disagree and learn to compete

Pushing each other to insanity,

Because then I’d never know how kind you could be

The Pureness of love lifting my frequency

Those feelings are priceless but without hate don’t exist.

I prefer a place where nothings the same,

Where the only way to learn is through repeated mistakes,

Some of us have seen this previously take place

But all of us have felt it not living for today,

Controlled by a mindset only you can change

I don’t think you’re wrong cause there’s no right way

Each day that you wake up is another chance to escape

Per-sue what you’re called for, let the past dissipate.

For everyone that can apply this

Perhaps we could reshape

The way that we see and treat this place,

So I can’t blame us for why we’re back here today

It’s all an experience to improve upon each day

Cause without all of this hate, there would be no need for a change l!

So if all of us focused on rescuing hate,

Through deep observation of thoughts from the self,

What are you holding onto, living under a spell,

Is time to let go of what you want to see,

Finally release those old programmed beliefs,

Acceptance for all, might bring you some peace,

Bring us together to change history,

Then perhaps we played our part in a game on repeat.

“I form the light and the dark. I create good and evil. I the lord do all these things” - Isaiah 45 (King James Bible)
