I, who…

yearns to be free

Artwork by A.B. Godfreed

All egoic thought is
based in desires and lack
fear of inadequacy
judgment of others
dread
death approaching
despair
dysfunctional systems of acculturation
beliefs become “black-belts in bullshit”
envy roves
the mind’s parasite
destroys all happiness
in delusions of mediocrity
falling
far
far
far,
far
from grace
the capacity to know the truth
lost
so
far from
acceptance
cooperation
mutuality
recognition that joy comes…
