lying

lie to the children very long

and that will make them weird and crazy


because then they lie to their self

mostly i guess to please the liar

which is now how they please their self

and the great disharmony that comes into being

is not very nice or pleasant

which is now all around us

for all to see


all our beliefs and hopes and wishes and guesses

are nothing but lies

our feeble attempts to escape our lives


our essential truth is all we are

and mostly all we have learned is to be a lie


life does not have to be that way



how we feel and what we think

is not what we are


truth is a harsh mistress

yet all ways an option for us choosers


if we just give up choosing and deciding

and embrace being
