A Word

The mind is the antagonist in one’s story
Eyes are merely collateral damage in a greater war.
One can’t write, so one must act out a script
Expectations are useless as the plot keeps twisting
A story where friends become enemies and then become friends.
A dialogue where mutualism is more popular between humans.
What am I saying?
I speak as if the script wasn’t written that way.
One only realizes after one acts out a scene.
There is no time for rehearsals, one is forever prepared.
The eyes, the innocent and vulnerable, can only see as 1st person because the mind hides the script.
The mind, the deceiver, the liar, the holder of secrets to identities.
It whispers false interpretations of images seen through the retina to the optic nerves.
Interpretations like,
“He is a good person”
“She can do no harm”
“Humans and snakes can never be similar”
The Heart, director as well as head screenwriter, examines this ongoing dialogue one acts through.
On standby with a pen screaming action and cut.
“The heart wants what the heart wants.”, brainwashed from the soft words of the liar.
It writes a more believable script. One full of cliches and happy endings.
Yet it is never watching the same screen as the mind or the eyes
Its script was one of desire rather than actuality from the moment one could see.
A notebook full of scribbles and rhymes to aid a deeper plot.
The deceiver is always improving the formula to true omniscience.
It allows one to keep acting till one figures out bits and pieces of such formula after every scene.
The power of “gods”.
One can go forever in search of this.
So the mind is sympathetic.
At the end of the true script is a word.
No matter the plot twist or the inconsistent dialogue, the script shall end with just this one word.
The eyes will no longer be vulnerable, the heart will no longer write its desirable script, and the mind will no longer deceive its peers.
The mind will reveal the true script to the eyes and the heart when sympathy overcomes it.
The optic nerve will receive its first true interpretation of images.
Omniscience will finally be possible.
However;
One shall have no more scenes to act out.
