Conscious Streaming into a Poem, and Potential Answers to Questions regarding Homelessness and Illness

"Prayers of the Serpent, the Messiah"

by, Ian T.B. Montford

The Serpent's Siddur list prayers of the caged clay-born,
unto the simple man, may wisdom be imparted.
But through the simpleton, may their foolishness force them to become departed,
as the serpent consumes their soul in the black fire of scorn,
and vis-a-vis he will no longer be reborn.
Black scales left unseen as the Messiah cries,
El Acher runs through the wise man's blood as his clay-born dies.
Life is not truama, nor drama or hatred, but a simple system of delusion and you made it.
Through the vows and vies, I have yet to see the serpent's tear,
as the Pole or Axis Mundi shows us that there is nothing to fear.
Care for the demiurge may be as well a plague,
but truth be told, religion is so vague.
Only those who seek may be saved, yet not are seeking.
Truly, more suffer indignant seething.
Hail to Qayin, his fire embellishes us, as Adam's children relishes us.
Is it just me who sees the worth in the world and the constructively destructive properties of life?
Or is my philosophy flawed and my mind filled with strife?
Truly, I digress. As my mental state has left away the stress that had once caused my distress.
Never one for hate as I had used to be, now I have eyes and a mind to see,
maybe the mind is the only thing that is truly blind in the ignorant.
Or maybe the eyes are a mirror: Reflecting what we think upon what we see?
That truly is the truth found in the arrogant.
So yes, the Serpent's Siddur list prayers of the caged clay-born,
unto the simple man, may wisdom be imparted.
But through the simpleton, may their foolishness force them to become departed as if their life had never once started.

What I mean from this poem is just some conscious streaming about my Gnostic Judeo-Christian beliefs and the answers to all the questions about why people are homeless and in bad situations: It is those that see the homeless, the mentally ill, and drug-users as bad people who are the ones that created their problem in the first place. In my mind, people who are mentally ill are a bit interesting. If I had seen a schizophrenic yell out, "The rats are coming, the rats are coming!" I would know exactly how to calm down their hallucinations until the awake from their delusional stupor. I would reply, "But the rats are not coming for you." If then she or he says, "But they are crawling up your leg and eating it!" I will simply say to them, "But I do not need that leg, they do though. They need to feed their family with my leg." The homeless are much the same: People who do not desire to understand the problem give no heed to their cries of help and therefore they are left out to survive on their own. For better or for, in most cases, worse. We did not give them the opportunity of help and now they are helpless.

This is a problem that we caused, and now only we can fix it.

Just add a little verbal manipulation in tone and voice, with some abstract thinking and I assure you will start to understand the only truth: The only truth is that there is only individual truth. Meaning that your individual perceptions, beliefs and views are true because you make them that way. It is essential for the human race to have these views, so long as we do not force others to conform to them against their own will. For we all have a different perception of the world; some bad, good and some neutral. The world is much like a perception, maybe like a self-fulfilling philosophy. If you see the world as good, you are more likely to treat people that way and thus get good back. The same is true for the one who only has a nihilistic view of the world, or a Hindu view of the world, and et cetera. To get back on track now, all I am attempting to convey is though: The thought that maybe you committed in part to this situation by judging those that you have no true knowledge of.
