Awaken dear child
Open your eyes
Lift the veil
See the world for what it is

Few people will tell you the truth
Not because they wish to deceive
But know
   their eyes are clouded
   and their ears muffled

The world we live in
Favors stories and beliefs
Community harmony
Groupthink above all

If they don’t know you as friend
They are quick to brand you enemy
Survival patterns
From a distant past

Tell them
I have no wish to eat you
Your inner divinity shines
As does mine

Namaste
