I am not a sum of my worldly possessions
I am not a sum of my worldly knowledge
What I believe is not to be confused
With what I know
What the world has taught me
Is the belief of the world
What the world believes it knows
Is constantly changing
There are many books of knowledge
That will tell you what to believe
There are many stories told in the world
That will give you something to think
Thinking and thoughts will lead you
Down the path of the story that was told
Knowledge will make you think
Along the path it tells you to believe
Stories and knowledge told and taught to you
Have little to do with what you truly know
Knowing is knowing
And that's what I believe

It is said we are living in a man's world
But what kind of world is it even for men
The patriarchal imbalance is not a true benefit for him
So many good men suffer silently in this system of man
Many evil or uncaring men excel in this system
Many good men are stifled or consumed by the machine of man
Women are utterly subjugated in many different ways by man
I don't think substituting a matriarchy for the patriarchy is the answer
That would just be a different imbalance
Many women are starting to feel like they don't need men
Like they would be better off without them
This is a luxury of thought afforded by our modern world
But is in fact a falsehood of modern life
There are also men working on how to eliminate women from the picture
Using science and technology as a substitute
This too is an utter fallacy of a patriarchal system
Any road conceived in this way as an option
Will ultimately lead to a dead end for either male or female on that road
Clearly humanity is being fractured and splintered
We are all being driven into a male singularity rather than unifying
The world seems to be devolving
Into something grotesque and unrecognizable
We are living in a state of final exaggerated imbalance
That is crashing hard and being unfairly weighted
After it does crash let's not rebuild it the same
Let's also not switch from one to the other side
This universe operates best on natural balance and flow
For too long we have been breaking the rules
For too long we have lived under flawed rulers

At home in my lair
No one telling me I can't sit in my underwear
I can't really sit around naked
People driving by my picture window might think I'm bake-ed
It's so far been a long road this journey of life
I find myself now just enjoying the wildlife
I have a home and that's enough for me
I can pay my bills and feed myself without having to plea
At one point I was inches away from a cardboard box
And even did my turn behind imposed locks
I guess I surfed this life like a wave of sampling
But now need to rest like a little campling
I now see the world through a piped portal
All the people on the internet trying to avoid being mortal
So I reflect and write poems for the mass
But I know poetry is an art that is lost in the morass
I will continue to reflect like a one way mirror
Do my part in my own way to make things clearer
Observing and reflecting life as I see it
Trying to impart my own wisdom and wit
It's time for me to just sit and be
Although after such an adventure it's hard for me
I know that whatever happens will be alright
Cause I'm valley bound from my dizzying height

The creator does not measure your mind or your health
It does not care about your status, position or wealth
It does not really care about what you do
As long as to your self you are true
You can be "Bad" and not "Good"
Live your entire life in the hood
If you live your life breaking all of the laws
You will need to acknowledge your flaws
Some of us are severely hampered
Certainly living lives where we are not pampered
We all have our personal journey
And in the end we are all our own attorney
Some of us color within the lines
And others revel outside the confines
Being kind is non judgment
Because we've all been there to our own lament
Being understanding has it's own pitfalls
Some people have not yet hit the walls
The best we can do is be a willow or a blade of grass
Be rooted in the ground while the winds pass
Honestly I'm just sitting here finding the light at the end of the tunnel
With my head up my *

LOL

The world on my screen and the environment out my door
I'm growing tired of one and only want one anymore
The environment out my door is beautiful and peaceful
World on my screen is just crazy and distasteful
Much as I'm drawn to looking at my screen
I'd rather draw my awareness to my environment so clean
The world right now is just so messed
But where I am is just so blessed
I find myself outside of city life
In a tiny village full of bird life
I've lived in cities before and know what they are like
They are not for me and make my soul go on strike
Constantly rubbing elbows with the masses
Everyday immersed in a stifling morasses
Yet somehow the internet pipes it all to me
In my safe little haven where I'm learning to be
So I'll live in my haven safe and blessed viewing it all
And remind myself everyday to be grateful I don't live in the pall

I was sitting on my front deck and had a laugh at myself
Envisioning my faults and being honest between the creator and I
I had to admit I can be a fool, stubborn, impish and egotistical in my own mind
Thankfully not all of them all at once
But it was a lighthearted moment between the creator and I
And I envisioned the creator having a laugh at the part that I play
In fact I envision all of those on the other side
Laughing they're ***** off at who I am and what I've done
Much as I might like to think I know I'm not perfect
Getting egg on your face is part of the show
I really feel that this life is a game that our souls play
They come to forget most of they're wisdom and experience
Basically start from scratch and see how well they do
With a limited amount and set of variables
I guess I'm learning to listen to and follow my heart
Not lean so heavily on my mind and thoughts
I'm learning how easily the mind can lead you astray
Make your heart weary when it just came to play
But I think at this age and point in my life
I've sorted a lot out and am mostly done with the strife
Although I know they are all having a good laugh on the other side
I think the ones that know me are proud and love me for what I have done
I've endured a lot done some good and done some harm
Lived my life like surfing a wave
Never had a plan or direction to go
Just seized what came and went with the flow
Somehow I landed on my feet
So while I can be a fool, stubborn, impish and egotistical
I'm really just an acrobat

Positive energy negative energy
Good feelings bad feelings
Each in turn is felt and fed on
Sometimes I think Earth is just a farm
Duality plays out on it's stage
One part feeds the positive farmers
The other feeds the negative farmers
We the contained animals create the food
We play our chosen part in the world
Creating the energy for the farmers to feed on
Good or bad doesn't matter
It's all just food for the farmers
Mostly the animals don't know they are on a farm
They don't mind the fences that contain them
They are not in the wild
Making they're own way
Do the animals grow and evolve
Ever break free of the farm
Does the farm ever go out of business
Do Vegan protesters ever come and free all the animals
It's just a thought and maybe it's not a Loosh Farm
