a striving soul cries out:
"This is me, an other cry in
the wilderness
of humanity"
and is banned
it seems that there are vast areas
of enterprise used to make a living
that most people are pretty much
unaware of
we seem to believe we have this
very tiny
area of possible employment
Tell me, do I have it right?
Are most people, dark and bright
in monochrome? Close to home?
An oft told tale?
Is this what love is -- feeling
an other as part of you?
Dressed in poetic senses --
how I perceive and
self express
I understand that acquiescence
to threats puts me in eternal
danger.
If you need my help, treat me as
a valuable asset.
Everybody gets subjugated,
tortured
when designated in opposition
to the norm
"We are one human family
and we are all equal"
Not the same.
We are each different
in our own ways
but that difference doesn't make
us greater or lesser
but rather each our own
blessing within the community
Sure, you can find rationales for
your colonial mindset that holds
us all in a suicide warzone instead
of getting together to work to
solve
the very real problems faced by
our species -- the human race,
which seems to be a race to
destruction.
I don't need you to give to me
I need you to give my presents to
I need the pull of audience
to make my voice
Early morning in some unknown town
wandering awakening streets
as if in a dream
Reflexive self doubt
I'm bad I'm ignorant
I'm stupid
I'm getting it wrong for evil
reasons
Stop Look
Listen
Think, calmly, reasonably
dispassionately, with compassion
Mindful awareness
What can I learn
discern the source of
disquieting behavior, like pain
telling me: "attend!"
All these layered associations,
montages of meaning
Back then I studied complexity
so now I can afford to explore
simplicity
Untethered to ancestors
I am self-defined,
self-created, self-educated
in a world that denies
what I have learned to be
12/22/22-1/1/23
My New Year wish: Where we keep our consciousness, those
thoughts that carry us along
is what we will manifest – not woo
woo, but the basis of subjective realities
Enjoy a Glorious 2023
manifest your best year ever!
Peace,
L.
