The Fate of All Structures

The ultimate fate of all structures,
is to collapse back to nothingness,
from which it emerged.
Just like the ocean wave falling back to the sea,
from which it arises.

There is nothing you or I or all of us could do,
to preserve any structures.
We can prolong our lifetime for a while, but still,
our body, our physical incarnation, will eventually dissolve,
and thus, death is inescapable.
So does the fall of any structure, is inevitable.

Atomic and chemical structures are not meant to last.
Specieses emerge and extinct along the history of life.
Human empires and civilizations rise and fall.
Communism fell apart when capitalism shone the world with bright promise–
–but even now, American capitalism is falling apart.
No structures are meant to last,
for they are all destined, only to fall back nothingness.

Eventually,
all religious dogmas and institutions,
all scientific systems,
all belief systems, all structures of ego’s mind–
all will collapse back to nothingness,
the way they are all destined to be.
Even the greatest structure we call The Universe,
is meant to collapse back to Nothingness,
from which it originated.

Is there any more reason to cling to any structures?
Free yourself of any attachment, for,
whatever you attach yourself into, is meant to dissolve.
Just flow along The River of Life,
The Absolute Presence, The One Consciousness,
from which all structures emerge, to which all structures return.
