Not much instruction,
mostly unlearning,
the ideas heaped upon
by those well meaning.
Our parents first,
teachers came second,
then society and media
bombarding us,
molding, firing our
brains, senses overloading
from repeating the same.
Still and quiet yourself,
listen within…does that
notion sit well or is it
unsettling or grim.
Whatever you feel
that is joy-filled and bliss,
keep your attention on that
and expand with finesse.
Pay attention to your thoughts,
the good ones think more,
the negative and draining,
leave at the door.
In this way, we can train
that repetitious thinking,
those ideas thrust upon
us that transport us to sinking.
We don’t need to embrace
those things that we find
that interlock us so tight
and leave us confined.
Mankind will feel happier,
open and free if can let go
of misconceptions of
erroneous belief.
