The summer of love reinforced to those in power the realisation that humans enjoying themselves cannot be coerced. Their sole aim is to control through fear. Scared of our neighbour, too scared to go out of our way to say hello. Numbers meaningless become stats and not fellows to help. Let's look smaller and see friendly people in need of an occasional helping hand.

Time to think
I am frustrated with myself when i am witty as often as i sound like i am making a judgement.

Selfless selfishness
I have morals but would i fight or fly if my cosy existence turned upside down. Would i fight for my principles or scurry behind my door? How can i test myself? I doubt myself with the knowledge that my fear of confrontation may get the better off me. In the time i live i an blessed with a stable nation, we are too soft. The world can be a tough place. I worry that the compromise between enlightenment and aggression leads us to living in a state of manipulation where the aggressors pray on the apathy. Enlightenment shouldn't ignore the awareness that an inner steel is required.

Nothing looks real
How do we educate?
Against the state
Keep true to yourself
Unrealistic expectations
Torturing the next
Looking up
To a computer screen
not a healthy way to dream
I want a world where children are set free
Not wrapped in our chains to comfort us

Complicating zen
Riding
To a place
Where i can go
And lose my mind
To hideaway
Escape the game
Meditate
Playing my mind
For a time
I'm going away
No reality
Escape the game
Meditate
Playing my mind
For a time
I'm going away
To reality
oblivion
Is washing up
I will be
among the reeds
Stationary
From creeping death
Breaking down the stones
Rolling in my way

Awareness
My brain is wired pretty good for solving problems. A person is not a problem to be solved. Ergo I struggle with rapport!
