The real reality

Politics is a game of vanity
that normally backfires
and kills the opportunist
ruining his life and character,
and all that will remain of him
is a pathetic hollow mask
concealing painfully the scornful grin
of the eternal ridicule of death.
The real reality is not the mundane world
with all its fleeting vanity of mirages
but all that happens and goes on beyond it
and behind it in its spiritual life and actions.
If you can keep watch of that you are in present time
and can keep track of what is really happening
which never is what it appears to seem.

Such wise words. Spiritual grounding cannot be tricked or manipulated. It is a beacon that draws in only one direction.

Mm yes! My favourite line is "if you can keep watch of that you are in present time" for me the words arrive as both a reminder and a promise simultaneously.

The eternal ridicule of death, that's a nice phrase.

And this is a nice poem. I enjoyed it.
