Authenticity And Appearance - A Song In The Mind

By Werner Reyneke
Jan. 11, 2005

Prelude:

The only things justly authentic are those armoured with the capacity to appear as such to idle minds incapable of creative construal and blinded by the sheltered views of popular standing.

Chorus:

Oh, admirable Universe orbiting that noble thing called Humanity, how come the stars emit such light as though their dart heads steadily towards its flattened behind? Could it be that they’re returning to their origin? Assuredly so, you bright mind! Humanity’s flattened buttocks are indeed the source, and flat they are from that accustomed pose of sitting and watching as a dumb spectator! For the spectator he is, has been playing that spectacle inside its own play: Humanity is the author, performer and audience in screwed reflection by extending and posing such precious hopes and dreams onto that hurried and inexorably mysterious horizon of reality!

Finale:

Things are not as they appear, but that they appear.
