Having never been on Social Media, it makes sense that I am not one to dispersing my image all over the globe. Hence, I have posted one of a notable Philosopher :) . I am a Philosopher and a Poet. As I have (often vision impaired) ambled the arduous journey referred to as life, I have learned that unless one is being educated for work, where their future employers would want them blindly learned, the paramount path to education is via the self. Moreover, if the proper means are pursued with an open and objective mind, one may not attain society’s golden piece of paper by which a worth is deemed, but nuggets of a far greater value, which are knowledge and wisdom. If I am allowed to continue my philosophical journey. may I learn to always walk steadfast with an open mind and kindness. However, if the Fates have decreed my final breath near, may they let compassion descend upon humankind until either the day of our species' extinction or a time when we transcend our world of ignorance and illusion.

I'm everything and nothing

I'm everyone and no one

I'm all that truly is

I'm that which will never be…

Melancholy

A metaphorical gun to my head…

If I fell in the water

Would my heart move me to swim?

If my passing breath were in danger

Would I willingly submit?

To comprehend not being

Is beyond my feeble mind.

But sadly it is being

That
