truth

so many today consider truth to be

what they feel

or how they feel about what they feel

or what they think about what they feel

and often what they wish they were

or were not


truth is what we are

or perhaps where we actually are

am not sure just what the words should be

words can never be more than a finger pointing

as the one some call buddha once said


words are of little value if they are selling some thing

and life ain't a thing

but life is also all things


my self is bigger than me

that was an early very confusing clue


i have mostly felt pretty small


and the so called lawmakers seem to want me to stay that way

and the preachers

and the teachers

and the cops

and the robbers

and the makers of all those commercials and ads

they all want my money or my sweat

usually both


willing to be what life made us to be

without all our hopes and wishes and dreams and fears

or any ideas at all

is the only validity is see in what ever we actually are


ideas are only figments of our imaginations

and how we our selves or other selves mislead us


leaders are of no value at all


to follow an other is to be lost

unless you are not lost

and just following some one you find interesting

and not just wishing to prey on them

or pray on them


perhaps willing to share your self with them

if the they part of you was willing
