He who stands now
may meet those who stood before
even though before them
are they who appear here now.
Where we live inside is not always
where we are presently,

What does one hear when everything is […]
What cause do we trust
with the fragmentation of souls
compromising
our own
remembrance?
Where can we find ourself
unless to be a scar
unwanted and forgotten
without pride
requiring others?
It is a perfect sale

Fear
Jealousy
Racism

The dream we already create
The truth we already have been given

It was due to depth of false information.
Hours upon hours of my life I sat
sometimes in a rocking chair

I hear what is not said
am deaf to what is shared.
I see what is not shown
and blind to what is before me.
I say what is not heard
am heard by what I have not shared.
I show […]
The Mystery serves confusion
the education serves repression
the knowledge serves imprisonment
the experience serves isolation
What way of life do I choose
