The Myth Of The Flesh Poem by greg richardson

Death is an illusion
created by the same magician
who gave us the illusion of life

Pain is an illusion
created to make us believe
in the greatest illusion of all
Ourselves

And who created all these illusions?
but the master of it all
and who is he
but an illusion too
created to keep me from you.

And who created him
but the evil one
who is no illusion at all.

And who is he
if he exists
he is simply selfishness
then who is Jesus, you ask?
He is the one who wore a mask.
