Conditioned Freedoms are schizophrenic
The first conditioned freedom sparked to life four millennia ago;
a dialogue commenced between a desert mirage and Abraham.
At that point, schizophrenia hadn’t yet been labeled by the clinical elite,
so the “mad” were simply those who stumbled upon the word “god”
and bartered it like a currency minted in fear and love.
Around the 7th Century, long after the “Jewish Messiah” arrived
only to be ignored by the blind illusions of that first freedom
which refused to believe a mortal man could audition for a god’s role
the second conditioned freedom was birthed from the rib of the first.
A Prophet in the Arabian Peninsula was plagued by heavy dreams
of voices insisting that a new liberty must be carved into these sands.
Again, a textbook case of schizophrenia that the era lacked the wit to name.
Since then, both “freedoms” have been locked in an eternal, sibling cage-match;
their gods clash over the same conditioned territory
oblivious to the fact that they share the same pathology and struggle.
Since then, persecutions have become our daily bread,
with slavery and genocide serving as hallowed pastimes in the name of the divine.
Yet, no one dares tell these zealots that schizophrenia is their shared script.
Why is it so hard to step out of these blood-soaked streams?
Are we so utterly blind that we must slaughter the Other to please a ghost?
Yes, it seems we are, content in this deceived, mad world
Where illusions take up rifles and bomb children in the name of a silent God.
