Moments

It takes but a moment
To divide
But eternity
To unite

Is it in the basic nature
Of consciousness
To be divisive
As opposed to being connected

Fear galvanizes divisions
Hope leads to unity
So why is it
That we play to our baser emotions

Is survival still a question
That our species struggles with
Is the loss of our own life
The driving factor

If so
Why?
Because death is inevitable
But the projection of an unforeseeable ending is not

And that’s how they play us
Closure
Or lack of it becomes an issue
Fear

Hope on the other hand
Would unite us
To a level of universal consciousness
One begins to realize that there is something greater than the self

Immortality
Unwanted
That exists
In the form of an idea

That idea
Is that of freedom
From the known
The unknown

And from the prejudice of the self
