self examination

probably a lost art

i know it ain't popular


have dabbled in self examination


truthfulness with self can be

very difficult in our time

our training and conditioning and prejudices

make truth a threat to our feeling secure

and in control


self examination might reveal

the lies we tell our self

and our fears and insecurities


mostly we seek to escape truth and reality

has been my experience


we make up stories to believe in

religious stories

patriotic stories

family stories

personal stories to believe in

and live in this little containment field

of our own creation
