Defiance:
the price is loneliness to be of individual mind
to lack being want of any of the same kind
left alone to suffer ridicule for suggestion to find
greater worth in Self, then to follow the blind
body defeating the universal clay-mould
defying to suffer the history of that being told
living truth to sought wisdom before being old
knowing strength from conflict with that being sold
eon’s of history derive the same, repeated ends
where the individual dies for unknown others, asking to defend
the honor of the group collective that it survive to contend
perpetuating the myth: spilled blood, to humanity’s survival, it does lend.
Free(dom) the Collective
Freedom; sought from the tyranny to which life is repeatedly born,
limiting its growth by containment of the individualist mind,
white-washed into submission by contrived uniformity,
instilled by the fear of banishment from the societal-clan,
shackled and anchored to chaste of monetary position,
imposed by ghostly image of authority’s contrived rules,
impeded through admonishment of counter-thought,
gratifying willful absorption to conformity of the Collective.
Freedom; for the individual mind to which life is meant to be born,
to seek its inherent, genetic design of purpose,
as cellular contributor to the living organism that is humanity,
gratified in the acknowledgment of recognition to participate,
unrestricted in access to commonwealth of prosperity,
to preside and flourish in the structure and respect of natural laws,
unlimited without constraint as Individual contributor to Community.
