These ideas of Limits and Ties,
Infect the brain.
Their murky ink spreads and soils the neurons,
all while polluting the soul.

We imagine such boundaries will fade,
And say words like,
"When I'm older, wiser."
"When I'm more educated, cultured."
"When I'm free to do as I please."

That is when,
These ideas of Limits and Ties,
Have finally swallowed you whole.

Consistently paraded  
~but not yet abundant~
this Season of
Love

A little good will, to all, (& smiling) costs nothing!
As I slept,
I dreamed I was falling,
Violently hurdling towards the earth,
Increasing...
Increasing...
My back deployed,
I started to decrease from falling, and was beginning to glide.

I glided into a forest,
Filled with the most wonderful,
Fruits
Vegetables
Trees
Animals speaking in tongues

I then was confronted by a man in a woven cloth,
He stabbed me in the collar bone in a most benevolent way!

He smeared my blood on my forehead and condemned me
to feel the pain of his ancestors
for my kind had made him suffer
I promised to him that I would take everything all of it,
I would give it back to his people one day,
We wept under the tree's
He spoke to me,
Told me that I was the true white buffalo,
and that the others were just imposters,
that gave a bad name to the term,

I looked all around me,
At this point in time knew that the fruit was not for me and my people,
That its roots and stalks were on the same soil that the natives were buried under!
We are not supposed to be here!
I will leave when I have my chance.
and now I weep for every passing plant and tree every spirit of the earth that has faced our destruction.
Genocide
Destruction
Inhabiting
Manifesting
Corrupting
Lifelessly moving along the horizon in search of nothing but finding.

A wave crashed on me this morning...
And without thinking i allowed
It to take me with it, for reasons i got
None to protest, surrendering myself, getting drowned
Nevertheless it was a phase, a time i regret
Rationality didn't find place beyond the tears
Clouding in my eyes, forcing me to accept
That what couldn't be, all that my heart fears
Drowning, deep down, world whirled past
Eyes blurred, hands going numb
Darkness surrounded me, great shadows it did cast
No i didn't see the sun peeking from behind
Shut myself up in the world i was
Who knew nature would be that kind
Offering a hand to pull me back
A picture of what i did then came to me
A form of nightmare, that took my wits
I know was the stupidest thing to do
And with open eyes i did see
The bitter truth of life...Its not I
Who decides what i am to be....
So all that i got, is a meek sorry :/ :(
