To him, she was incredibly beautiful
he felt blessed when her eyes met his
when they talked for a long time
the connection was joyfully amenable
until she started becoming unhinged
and parroting political nonsense
that she’d been spoon fed daily
blindly accepted and believed
brainwashed with misinformation
designed to shape her outlooks
and use her like a useful idiot
he couldn’t abide that flaw in her
he couldn’t reason with her
he couldn’t open her eyes to truth
he could see her brainwashed views
were cemented too deeply in her
he had to bid her goodbye.

I don’t know if reincarnation is factual
I do believe it’s possible

in the past I felt I was once a Hindu monk
another time a lord in England
once a cave dweller in a primitive past

now I think these were just imagings
now I am not sure if life is a one shot or many

supposedly there were experiments with kids
who were able to remember past lives
skeptics say the results were questionable

if reincarnation is not real, the worst would be
if dead was just dead, no more you, no more me

but speaking honesty, I’ve reached a point
where I’m perfectly okay with that outcome

perhaps that’s a kind of enlightened acceptance
I don’t know for sure; maybe I’m just tired of living.

Supposedly some places are full of ghosts
why that would be is a mystery to me

and why would ghosts want to gather in certain haunts
and are they at the haunts and elsewhere in the afterlife at the same time?

do they, so to speak, expire after a certain amount of years
and what keeps them tethered to their haunts?

it’s all a mystery to me that I believe will be revealed when I join the spirits on the other side.
