To It Is J

There's certainly no shortage
Of wise sayings about life
From Chinese fortune cookies
To philosophers
From janitors to presidents
And random tweets by random people
All trying their best
To demonstrate understanding
Hoping and striving
To live a better life
Some sayings being true
While others way off base
But no one questions
If A then B
It is C therefore D
When E it is A
After G then B
To it is J
And all combinations of
When if after is then to should
While the only one that matters
The one that is not a saying
But truth beyond reason
Eludes many

My Way Or The Highway

It is truly fascinating
To watch someone
Whose entire interactions
In any and all types of
Situations in life
Hinged on the dogma
My way or the highway
Rarely unaware
But usually in denial

Having no regard
To anything or anyone
But himself or herself
Racking up collateral damage
Blaming everyone and everything
But himself or herself
Not being able to tolerate
Those who they cannot control
Perceiving them as threats
To their way of life

Ceaselessly searching
Until they find a way
To eliminate and destroy
Those who are more tolerant
With ingrained mantra
A lifelong devotion of
My way or the highway

As A Clam

Most people think
Turning the other cheek
As referenced in the bible
To mean be at peace
Don't fight back
And forgive 

But what it actually means
Is to give the opponent
Someone who is obviously angry
At  you for whatever reason 
An opportunity to express that anger

To let them fulfill their evil desire
And feel satisfied
Content at having expressed 
That pent up negative energy

Hence turn the other cheek

Or simply 
Just provide them a box 
Of girl scout cookies
For purchase

And they will be happy
As a clam
Having refused to purchase
One box

Beginning Of Time

Time
Does time exist in absolute zero energy?
In relative stand point of being present
Within the space of zero energy
There is no concept of time

From outside looking in
To the space of zero energy
There will be no matter
No heat
No gravity
No light
No time

Just empty space
Of nothing but infinite
Volume
The only thing independent 
Of energy 
And time

And in this space
Our universe exists
With so much energy
And so much time

Beginning of time
From nothing

The Pitch of a Sound

How is it possible
That a man who can question
The existence of God
Cannot tell what will happen
A day
An hour
Or a minute from now?

It is like sailor questioning
The existence of wind
But cannot tell whether
The boat is moving
On a moving boat

Or a musician questioning
The pitch of a sound
But cannot tell whether
It is flat or sharp

Yet man dares to question
The existence of God
As if he should be able to tell
If God really does exist
