Roll away the stone and see for yourself
or Maybe it was the salmon mousse
Listening to dark echoes one does not need
Optical illusions or tricks of the mind
Or any of the false impressions we usually heed;
Kindness only. Centered focus on other in kind.
For all this talk of empathy maybe only selfish
Or less than moral behavior reassures most.
Real doubt is really human, but some elfish
Counter-argument or maybe reason's ghost
Occupies the cave with imagined faith.
Mirrors and smoke? Spelunking in Marabar?
Many a philosopher stoned the subject: Wraith
Or rebirth? But many simply return to life's salad bar
Not caring about death's customs agent's
Ground for taxing them for hidden contentments.
