want and need

we are so much more
than godlessness.
we are the core root
of the god we envision,
and through that vision,
we project our divinity on
others,
expanding upon personal
belief
systems composed of our
own experiences.
with or without godliness,
or a primal concept of
an energy, or consciousness
that somehow governs matter
and that which we cannot yet
gather into an intellectual structure
where we can grasp a particular
understanding of something
bigger than ourselves.
we must alter our consciousness
to move on and expand
upon our own experiences.
it's a form of hunger
that we need to quench
with self exploration,
grasping such things
as soul and spirit and
internal justification.
what is your purpose?
what is the purpose
of our nature?
where must we go?
with whom must we travel?
we go on into an interdependence
with all other living beings
to nurture a higher form
of thought,
of perception,
and evolution.
we are fundamental
to our own development.
we are solely responsible
for our own evolutionary process.
we are the link
between
spirit and form.
when we fight
and restrict ourselves,
we essentially restrict
the progress of entire generations
with our lackluster thoughts
on spirit and soul.
we inhibit the growth
of entire cultures.
and this is why we must
let go of want
in order to expose
that which we need.
