From the cortex chambers ventriliquists speak
with their distant voices probing
the soul's quiet palace.
They demand necessities: Amen -
and forgiveness; they repair despair,
teaching lessons from straw to sticks to bricks.

Yet what sad reality, the acceptance of
the mediating value of lies,
when the truth was never better.
Why is it some disguise body and mind,
until they are forced into the open
exposed by their glib shallow rote?

While, all the voices in the palace,
ventriloquists of inner thought,
remain quantum reminders,
that from the heart, to the great light that fills the sky,
all accept the gift of consciousness - and in the end,
it comes down to the truth of the matter.

An interesting read, and considering the subject matter (a somewhat grey area, but often brightly-colored in immediate effects) your words are admirably restrained.

I have read somewhere that those NDE interviewees claim somewhat sharper and more facile thought processing in non-biological form.

Whatever the merits of that, us humans certainly are complex mental creatures in this form, at least as seen from within. Ratiocinating, filtering-waking consciousness is obviously just one facet of the deal.

I do love that bit. This is intresting, kinda makes me want to sit and reflect - to find the truth of certain matters.
A thought-provoking write. Enjoyed.

Hi Trina

I'm glad you appreciated those words. I mean, that's what makes us nonprofessional writers gather here, to appreciate looking at life from many different angles.
