… The Light Still Shines
We
Live
IN
A World
Moving
Fast-Forward
Way Too Fast
Most of Us
UnAble to
Catch-Up
We
Live
IN
A World
Shaped by
The Angry
Patriarchal
gods
The Authorities
Demanding
Conformist
Compliance to
The Power-Projected
Through
Fear & Control & Dominance
We
Live
IN
A World
Confused by
The Past as
Written
In
History Books
Thought to
Memorize through
Establishment of
The Education Systems as
Recorded by
The Perpetrators
Being
Gaslighted to
Learn
Their Prospective
Planned to
Infiltrate
Young Minds
Unsupported by Facts
Strengthening
Proclamations of
Being
The Being
The Knowledgable One’s
Polarizing People
Through
Doctrines
Servings
The Collective Hive
Hushing
The Sound of
Our-Own-Voice
Silencing Self
Afraid to
Create Conflict or
Opposition
Against
The Unknown ‘Them’ and ‘They Know Best’
Viewing Open-Dialogue as
Unresolved Conflict
Masking
Obedience as
A Desirable Trait
Meeting
The Prerequisites for
Membership
Demanding
No-Opposition
Perpetuating
Fears
Carved-IN
Through Linage of
The One’s
Born Before Us
Afraid
Opposing
The Oppressors’
Punishments
Certain to
Reach One
We
Live
IN
A World
Saturated with
Carnival Lights &
Endless Attractions
Available for
One to Ride
Certain to
Distract One (from)
The Sound of
Our Own Heart
UnAble to
Hear
One’s & Other’s
SoulFull Cries
Stuck-IN
Endless
Loops of
Suffering
Each & Every
Single Ride
Round & Around
Once in awhile
Stuck
Way Up High
In
The Sky
Given a Glimpse to
View
The World from
A Different View
Still
Resisting
The Deepest Knowing
Believing
We Reached
The Heavens Above
Afraid of
The Potential Hell
Below & Beyond
The Limits of
Knowledge
Granted
In this
Acceptable Life
We
Live
IN
A World (In which)
Strength IS
Measured by
Severity of Dents
IN One’s Armor
Ability to
Withstand
Onslaught of
Assaults
Aimed @One &
Ability to
Lift & Carry
The Heaviest Load About
We
Live
IN
A World (in which)
Drop of Tear
IS
Perceived
The Sign of
Weakness
Measuring &
Labelling
The Weak Ones
Shamelessly
Displaying
Real Emotions
We
Live
IN
A World
Having
Forgotten
The Art of Communication
Politely
Responding with
One Word Replies
Even Worse
Acronyms
Yet to
Be Thought to
Autopilot Memory
Forgetting
Definitions &
Meanings Implied
UnMarked Through
Punctuation Pause
Projecting
Our-Own
Perceptions &
Mis-Judging
Through
The Very Filters of
Own Interpretation
We
Live
IN
A World
Lost & Confused &
Oblivious to
Own-Purpose
WithOut
The Magic of
Stories-Shared
Diminishing
Our-Own
Sense of Self
IN
Selfish Society
Disconnected (from)
Wisdoms of Tribal Council
Extinct to Silence
Subjecting-Self (to)
The Borage of
Broadcasted News
Programming
Our Minds
Repeating
The Party’s
Mantras
Suffocating
The Divine Essence
WithIn
Each One of Us
We
Live
IN
A World
Feasting ON
Given Scraps
Consuming
Carcasses of
Others
Drunk Drinking
The Norms
InPutted &
Operating
The Cyborg Collective
Eager to
Lose Lives
In The War Waged by
Others
Serving
External
Purpose
WithOut
Internally
Being
Aligned
Believing
In-The-Power of
The Man
Behind The Curtin
IN Wizard of Oz &
Orchestrated Lives
Practicing Rituals
ON
RePlay
Rightiusly
Celebrating
Sacred Ceremonies &
Drinking from
The Holy Grail
Saturated
IN
Empty
Promises of
UnWorthiness
HopeLess
Resigned to
Self
Begging for
Salvation
Hoping to
Be
Euthanized
Dying
Painfully
Slow-Death
Eager to
Reach
A Better Life
IN
Heaven’s Above
While
Loved One’s
Watch
Distracted by
Beeping Noises
Assaulting Their Mind’s
On Alert
Hyper-Vigilant
Immobilized
UnAble to
Respond from
Depths of
One’s
Protected
Heart Space
Still
For Dear Life
Holding OnTo
The Old Ways of
Creating Growth
Naturally &
IN Balance With
Laws of Nature
