they look so hard for salvation
as if it is something that comes from
outside the self and magically appears
to aid, to guide us out of our weaknesses.
they pretend that there is something
greater than them,
something omnipotent that is disconnected
from the shrine we call flesh.
they believe there is something beyond us
that takes away the sin and leaves us clean
in its glory.
but all of this transpires from the inner child
we smothered so long ago, the part of us
we keep bottled up, the small something within
us that we're afraid to show.
that inner peace is the child of our soul,
muted through years of adapting to
an unforgiving world to fit in with
all the others who follow the trends
and grow up in a way to better suit
the harsh environment we're hurled into.
if you're not wearing the right clothes,
adapting your life to the latest tech,
listening to the appropriate droning
thump of vapid music, trending in the
latest car, or following the teachings
of some faceless leader of faith,
you're not a part of their experience.
and if that is the case, and you have abandoned
all those things, I could call you a part of myself.
the problem doesn't lie in the religion or the politics
or the system. the problem lies within those
who lead. there is only one religious leader.
there is only one politician. there is no true system.
you are the greatest leader, the greatest teacher,
the greatest mind
that can set yourself free.
follow the child inside and see what you find.
you might be surprised at what you can
accomplish
when you set the guru free.
