#birthright
A leaf floats in the sea. In dirt, the water seeps. Each one has a unique sound, And each, foreign to me. The scenes I fail to capture, And never fail to miss Drag me deeper into wonder And deeper through abyss. The exposure just gets lower, And the darkness eats the flash, And crashing down onto the ground A shattered lens will thrash. The shutter starts to flicker, And the timer doesn’t last As the wonders of the world Become the wonders of the past. Debris will fall on rubble And stack into a heap, And I’ll give up on my camera And fall into my dreams And in my dreams I’ll never fail To capture every leaf, Or every droplet, Or every stone As to me the world bequeathed. The start, ends with a sea.

The Sound a Pixel Makes
You did not choose your father, Neither did your father knew you; Your birthright was only seeming, Never yours from the beginning. As waters separated from waters, So sheep separated from goats. But there is no seas in the end, And all tares burned and wheat gathered.

The Election
There are standard connotations of ubiquitous love: ****** ...religious, ...platonic and now electronic! They usually take us away from the home base and we are lost in the mores of colourful or colourless (but elusive nevertheless) illusions... of gods,... of heroes or simply pictures of people we have met on the internet. We do not understand it for if we did we would cease to seek. ...that the seeker might be the sought and that no wars need be fought for that which can be calmly identified on the inside - - is something we repetitively miss and while we all magically have it, it is in and through the other that we ignorantly solicit our abiding congenital bliss.

Congenital Bliss
But she's exposed herself. Flesh and bone protruding out the protective bubble. She's only just gone and dragged herself to the margins of society. Removed from the warmth of the gooey womb she supresses a lingering shiver. Now she resides in a ***** dimension. Present, not quite faded yet. Now the perfectly grown princess has self-inflicted chips on her shoulders. Addicted to self-flagulation she tries to regress back home to her former alter. Beyond. Reach. A stone bleeding with pleasure weighs down the remains of her birth right.

A man's greatest right is not his birthright. Birthrights are sometimes sold or can cause a fight So maybe it's his right to change his own mind Over and over and again without looking behind. Something he can do without conceding any loses This is his birthright, this he can do whenever he chooses. IB-Poetry©️ 3/14/2018

The Right To Change One's Mind
Want everything to come knocking our door keep their count and score Deserve it and should get it Like it is the birthright there are some who do not get to keep their breath but let us forget them and serve the power. Why should we make an effort when there is the privilege and the crown over to rule many minds, Frames smiling our faces and give all the real excuses when work comes in and there are those who are slaves to do them because they are not human like us.

Magic happens when you don't give up and ride the waves of light. When you open your heart to see as if eyes line the ***** Magic happens when you touch the moment in breath and bestride the carousel of dreams. Its what happens when one recalls who they a divine being with reservoir of gifts. Hello magic I declare my birthright.

Hello Magic
We yes we have been bred by forces of the Cabal. Forces that encourage separation fear, lust, greed, lack. We've been bred to use Mother Earth till she's bare ****** her asserts blind to her gifts. We have been lied to and poisoned by our foods Being kept from our natural gifts as spiritual beings But alas people are awakening. They awaken every day with rise of sun and starry night. They awaken to know we are sacred beings transmuted into human form. Form to finally wake up in these new times to live in harmony. Yes harmony with no hate no separation no judgements both toward self and others no greed no hunger. And in abundance our birthright. Great change are here. It comes as new energies anchor on earth. It comes by going into the heart. It starts with a footsteps of an open readers eyes.

An Open Readers Eye
*She longs to spread Her wings afar And fly till its midnight She longs to feel Breeze of the winds Caress her wings And smother her soul Dance among the clouds Sneak around in sky She longs to reclaim Her birthright of freedom And get food for herself Find shelter in rain She longs to live A life without chains Even if it means She may lose Her very life But all she can do is long For she is just A bird in a cage*

Bird in a cage
You  were  born  beautiful, From  your  head  to  your  toes, Your  hair  to  your  nose, And  your  complexion  to  your   supposed   "flaws", You  don't  need  to  bleach  your  skin, Just  to  fit  in , Flaunt  what  you  own , Let  the  doubts  about  your  body  be  gone , Beauty  is  in  your  nature , You  just   have   to  build  it , nurture  it .

Beauty is every womans birthright
The world belongs to me and the people in it - Are merely my rug My mat to smear And scrape off the **** of my day From my overpriced shoe I did not buy the world Nor did I work for it Or declare dominance I gained it By birthright And since I never asked To lead or protect I won't I'll wallow in my wealth Looking down at legions of ants Crawling over my earth And all I think? "Exterminate."
