Dead Book

Charlie Hebdo. I wonder. Where they disrespectful of religion or trying to tell us not to take religion and ourselves so seriously?
Is nothing sacred you might ask?
But is anything about life utterly untouched by the profane the mundane the messy? The most beautiful flowering bush is rooted in mud drawing it's nourishment equally from death and decay as it does from sunlight and air. Let's get real  folks and lets get together.  Because nothing about life is unadulterated beauty and purity. We're human after all and life gets dirty and rough at times. Comprehension I'd say is the source of compassion.

God book word book fade book dead book
Floors crumbling
Glass Ceilings
Deadwood floors
Collapsible doors

Le color noir
Hard to decipher
Tales taller
than roses in December
Hard boundaries
Free Shipping no handling charges redemption on delivery
But no returns non refundable
If dissatisfactory.

Heretic lunatic blasphemy apostasy traitor betrayer
Such are the titles if you call them  deceivers
The Men of God
the Son of God
The prophets and the prophetesses

Hang out with them or they'll hang you high
Outcast you from living life.

Enough said... Respect the dead.
The book of life is in our head.
Those preserves of past situations
Are suggestions not blueprint for your decisions.

Dead sea scrolls salted through time
Caveat emptor
Caves collapse to dust
Time exposes the age old lies.
