We Made It Up
The more one
Thinks about it
The more one realizes
The reality of reality
Is something
We made up
Not with molecules
Which would be tricky
But rather……words
Such that, like molecules
Have always existed
The analogy being
That, as molecules
Change shape and
Transform back and forth
Between waves and particles
So do words and definitions
Interpretations and intentions
Nothing (no thing) is a thing
It has to be, it is right there
“In the beginning, the Word already existed.
The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:1
Nothing (no thing) is a thing
Made up not of a vacuum
Or rather in a vacuum
Which too is something
The collective consciousness
Made up
We made it up
Isn’t that neat
How powerful we must be
Reality exists because
We have a word for it
That is so cool
Not as in the dictionary
“1: moderately cold : lacking in warmth”
– M-W.com
But rather
“7a: very good : excellent
– M-W.com
Both made up
By the way, as
The mother of necessity
(Also made up)
Everything (every thing)
Every God or gods
Every infinity or big bang
Every good or bad
Every up or down, east or west
Every plant, animal, or mineral
We made it up
Pick nearly anything (any thing)
Life, death, love, hate, create, destroy
Race, sex, value, values
Morals, morality, immorality
Besides, all are open to interpretation
Perception, content, and context
It all exists because
We made it up
Every _____________, whatever
We made it up
Money, we made up….. money *
A bum or a billionaire
(Which lately, is one and the same)
Is still just a person
Like all other eight billion persons
Or nine billion or so if one has
The tendency to include fetuses
Or 117 billion, if corpses are included
Laws
We made up laws
“Law: 1c a rule or order that it is advisable or obligatory to observe”
– M-W.com
Thou shalt not kill
Hey, good law
Except when profits are at stake
Then what is made up is
Open to interpretation
Turning persons into enemies
Or undesirables
Made up by someone or
A group of someone’s
Therefore, to be terminated (exterminated)
With extreme prejudice
Killed, not by deadly means
Rather, with euphemisms and innuendoes
Neutralized, collateral damage, etcetera
Still dead, but in a more palatable way
It is much easier to accept death of
Non-combatants, usually (children)
Or “friendly fire” when soldiers
“Accidentally” kill their own team members
That eases the conscience
Of the unconscious
So much for “Thou shalt not kill”
Before this goes on forever, and I
Extrapolate on all of the reality we made up
Will close with some George Carlin
“We made them both up.
Sanctity of life and the death penalty.
Aren’t we versatile?”
“My solipsistic worldview
Does not allow me to see
What may be real reality.”
– Angelo Devlin
* money
Made up of 0’s and 1’s
Not 1 through 9 rather
A digitized code on a computer
Telling each other how much
Magical made up money they
“Have” ……..Bwahahaha
Made up by banks and “reserves”
Reserves……..Bwahahaha
Figments of a collective creation
To nurture greed and consumption
“For an economy, that is
Fake in the first place” – Bill Hicks
If you think your money “exists”
Why can’t you “take it” with “you”
When you “go”
I’m just asking for eight billion friends
Make that 126 billion friends and counting
Via numbers…..that “we” …..made up
Wow. That’s intense thinking points! It’ll take me awhile to take it all in. Thanks.
