Know Freedom
Madmen in bizarre costumes
peek from behind corners,
and they know, they know.
Master plan searching me down.
Little machines that chase me around with
their preposterous little noise.
Giant men confront me with pomposity,
ridiculous because they are only little boys.
They are trying to catch me
and make me scream.
They laugh as they say they
want to shave me bald,
and put a weapon in my hand.
As they are chasing me, they scream out,
"this is the only way out now,
the end of your fleeing is here,
the end of your life is very near!"
Again, i awake from this awful dream,
to a very sunny day,
very few thin high clouds,
bird song, the buzzing of fat bees.
In these early waking hours,
i know freedom, feel its peace
and love in my heart.
I know these fears are inside of me.
I tell myself to be strong,
remembering it's always love
that guides us to truth.
Reminding myself to manifest
these thoughts into the waking light,
leaving all thoughts
of seeming disparity,
to my dreams at night.
