  'Universal
  knowledge.
  Learning.
  Bungee
  bounce back.
  Back to
  the source.
  Never ending
  journey.
  Next stop,
  next challenge
  one after
  the next.'
  that's why, we need only
  'forgive' ourselves a break,
  progress, as to the rate of our 'gifted' fate
  accept, the distance
  to our insurmountable mountain peaks;
  then simply succumb to that veiled meaning, in our: 'Journey's' worth..
  I ask, genuinely
  how conceited must we be
  to reach for perfection's mirages,
  when we're - yet, to embark on the path for understanding
  which Questions: are Relevant?
  'Let us, instead
  accept our limitations
  and succeed in identifying, exploiting and exhausting
  all our gifted opportunities, maybe then
  our future generations, can begin to contemplate
  why the word Empyrean exists, for a humanity
  that has yet to unfurl the repressed wings, tucked blind
  deep, in its own genetics and mind...' lol
  (I can never help my lol cynicism in humanity's unlimited capacity for self aggrandisement,
  we dream-up our endless heavens and deities
  just to curate our escapism's future where we 'deservedly' seat among them, while
  simultaneously we wage a war with ourselves, daily
  to convince ourselves
  the dishes, 'should really be done, tonight'
  and not left for tomorrow morning
  that will inevitably turn to
  tomorrow evening and etc.
  our dance of ludicrous hypocrisy continues, to entangle us
  forever - stagnant
  in our cyclical 'progression', of elite level wilful ignorance
  hiding, fervently
  from that question, we never contemplate proactively
  what-if,
  this life we experience - as limited and foiled by suffering, as it is
  is all that we're supposed, to 'perfect, elevate: evolve within'...
  and nothing else!
  (ah, what can I say
  once more your brilliant insights have my qwerty keys dancing away, mindlessly lol
  thank you for sharing and inspiring my little scribbled reply, dear poet)
