We follow...
We are advised...
We are told...
We are forced...
And so... we feel lost...
Because we are told that we are lost...
That we need... an expert...
To tell us where to go...
To tell us what to do.
And many times... the experts...
Are themselves... delusional...
Following illusions and dogmas...
Both ancient... and modern...
And tell us that... because THEY believe...
That you... too... must... believe.
And many times...
Their own science...
Their own logical math...
Is based... on an illusion of truth.
And... I wish to say...
That... sometimes... even truth is not truth.
Sometimes... even truth and fact...
Are illusions... are deceptions...
Because they defy definition...
They don't describe cause... and effect...
And one can never really know...
The whole of any truth.
And so... we play the gossip...
We play the expert...
We play the prophet...
We play the doctor...
And use fact and truth as an excuse
To hurt... and harm... and degrade...
To fix... to correct... to expose...
As if... such things are a cure to error...
As if... error... was exclusive to the recipient.
What if... we were different...?
What if... we let love and kindness... cure...?
What if... we left the truth... and the errors
To... that person... who must deal with it...?
Rather than... impose our own selves on them...
Rather than... using shame... and judgment...
Rather than... fixing things we cannot understand.
We keep getting stuck in our adolescence...
Acting like teenagers who laugh and judge
At those who are different...
At those who are clumsy...
At those who are struggling...
At those who aren't "as good as we are."
And excuse such cruelty as "natural socialization."
The oddballs... must learn... to MERGE.
And so... until my dying breath... I will say...
Don't be those children of the darkness...
Don't be those who judge and blame...
Don't be those who force... and shame...
Be the adults in the world...
Refuse... to be cruel.
And so... until my dying breath... I will say...
As I push the children above the waters
Of chaos... darkness... judgment... shame...
Push them over me... on to the future...
And I will cry to them until they hear me...
Be children of the light
Even if... you stand alone...
Even if... you face the world itself...
Be children of the light...
Be children of the light...
Be children of the light.
