There are no answers

There are no answers

There are no answers.

                Piss off Victoria,

                                With your prudery, hypocrisy and manners,

There are no rules.

We do not like what’s gone before.

                We want some life enhancers.

There are no answers.

We don’t need no establishment,

                No privileged bunch of prats,

                                No rich entitled jerks.

We wish to change the world

                With loud music and dancers;

There are no answers.

Standing up for our rights.

                Education should be liberating.

                                There’s more to life

                                                Than money.

We are the new romancers.

There are no answers.

Opher – 1.5.2023

I was watching a film about the sixties underground. Barry Miles, Pete Jenner and Hoppy Hopkins. I think that some of us did think we could change the world with a dose of colour, music, dance and sharing, make it into something far less greedy and much more caring.

We were young and idealistic. They don’t care about fairness or equality – only money.

For them revolution is fashion and you can exploit fashion.

Poetry – All Answers Are Contained Within

All Answers Are Contained Within

Mosques, Cathedrals, Temples and Idols,

Rituals, Prayers, Sacrifices and Adornment.

Holy Books, Psalms, Offerings and Pageant.

Indoctrination, Incantation, Lessons and Ceremony.

All falling well short of the mystery;

Not coming close to capturing the essence;

Not explaining the unexplainable;

Not shedding any light on reality;

But arrogantly asserting that all answers

Are contained within.

Opher 1.8.2018

Every religion claims to have the answer. Seemingly it is only contained within their holy books and rituals. All other religions have got it wrong.

My God is better than your God.

Yet the mysteries go on untouched by the words in the holy books. There are no answers to be found – but lots of questions.
