consider the possibility
that there are no higher beings
there are no lower beings
there is only the earth and
all the things on it

it is all unexplainable. an accident
or just as good as one,
a non-accident
that we have no chance of understanding
no chance of explaining
we will never know the truth
attempts to explain can only compound the error
at least until we can see enough of the picture.
and we are very, very, very small,
and very, very, very far away.

why then... we would be responsible!
responsible for our own actions
for good and evil!
could it be that we
are responsible for every horrible thing
and every beautiful thing
that man has ever done?
no angels holding our etch a sketch
no devils guiding our hands
we made it
we did it
we broke it
and if it is to be fixed
WE MUST FIX IT
no-one else. not god, not the devil
not hitler or ghandi
not our fathers, not our children
but simply
we must do it ourselves, just as we are
with no help from anyone

god didn't give us anything
neither did he take anything away
heaven is the realization
that there is no heaven
except the one that you make yourself
hell is never realizing
that you control your own life.
and subjecting yourself to the
random world
with blind faith
and expecting
someday
your reward...

enlightenment is the realization
that no-one is bound
e x c e p t
those that bind themselves.
