We Don't Die, We Transcend

this perspectival delusion
that "mine" is better than "yours"
undergirds the death of the pursuit
the "eternal becoming" or rather
this "becoming eternal"
and the possibilities
wrapped up in texts
about love, war & forgiveness
and the deities we inextricably
berrate into the meaningless void
that is philosophical depth
and width
and breadth

to Berkeley's consumption of
the mind and the realities it creates
to my friends idea that we co-create reality
with his ambiguous God
to my need for Jesus to rescue me from myself
it all points to the pursuit
and how there can never be absolutes
until this struggle becomes
absolutely clear

at this point in my life, it has all become
a relentless game of
morality
and
semantics
