Forest for the Trees


Consumed by consumerism
drowning in seas of fake identities
and hopeless disparities
unable to see realities
that are compromised by shoes and weaves

Too busy for your own good
chasing the ghost because they said
you should

Running away from the voice
that says you have a choice

The thing u tried to hide
is emerging from deep inside

Divine DNA
is calling you to wake up today

it is all an illusion,
so what is the confusion

really all about?...

Do you not know who you are?

an immaculate conception
hidden in the walls of deep deception

this is one of those poems that causes you to think, what's really important, working yourself to death, or until ill health, then what,going bald because of the stress,feet to tired to even wear all those shoes you thought you needed,all you have time to do is rest because all you've given is all your best, what's left? As for me i've decided to unlearn the false ideas of what i'm suppose do and be and open my HEART to learn a new,because one thing i'm certain of is,life is but a vapor, a mist, and i'm a spiritual being who in search for the true meaning of my life is to allow for change. The mind says i want but the HEART says i NEED! Follow your heart and the mind will follow, that's the choice. Thank God we have a choice we can change direction,if a load weighs you down,RELEASE IT! Thank you, you are BEAUTIFUL!

This is another gem! People are so much more than what society tells them they are. We are much more than a 9-5 or a social security/tax ID number. Our our souls are begging to be conditioned and yet we ignore it because we were never taught how to listen and acknowledge it. Keep 'em coming home girl!
