Go the distance


Escapism is not the way to live,
hiding from the real truth.
The facts are not so easily hidden
when you begin to own your behaviour
and see for yourself.

Escapism only works as a disease,
virulent at that,
as you begin to unravel the past.
You yourself are already neatly inside
mountains of memories, fields of exploration
data immense.

But what I find so fascinating
is that our eventual reality is actually ourself,
hidden, but so willing to be discovered,
uncovered and to destroy our myth
that life is far too difficult to face.
When it is far better than leaving the information,
to discover at death your real state of grace
or rather no state, is but disgrace.
