Setting Yourself Free
Searching exhaustively for the truth in everything one is taught by others.
Extensively evaluating all things in order to find which path to take.
Thoroughly questioning anything that one is informed by anyone, instead of being
part of the host.
Trusting that everyone has their own path of truth that they follow, however these
paths might not be the right one for the individualist.
Identifying the truths of life by thoroughly researching both sides of every fortune
told by the raja whom is advised by his rani.
Neither believing nor disbelieving one’s knowledge that he has acquired through
attending the institution.
Gathering data from fervently researching both pros and cons, while using the
scientific method for truth finding.
Yearning to analyze several paths of truth in order to find the best-fitting for one’s
way.
Overwhelming being inquisitive towards everything that is advised from a wino.
Understanding the content of all things that one reads from a book, and learns for
one’s milieu.
Radically experimenting through all of life’s endeavors with hopes of finding at least
one that will catch one’s eyes with grandeur.
Syllogistically gathering information through questioning everyone that one meets.
Enticing oneself while studying every ideology of the world with the passion of a
zealot in order to obtain one’s own way of life.
Laboriously diving into a diverse array of the fountains of knowledge and sifting
through them until he finds the one that will help him prevail.
Fanatically familiarizing oneself with the multitude of ideas that the world has to
offer including science, philosophy, and religious belief.
Frantically fusing one’s learned knowledge with his experiences of experimentation
in life, to help him find proof.
Ravaging through the pillars of light and truth while thoroughly investigating the
words of every prophet, scientist, and philosopher.
Expecting to either find a way of life that is sufficient enough to quench one’s thirst
for knowledge or to simply live life through experience.
Exploring the falsification of any truths that are mere opinions without any
substantial evidence.

Eric Shelman Poem
Passionate
Preferring to accomplish one’s goal instead of listening to the pessimistic angel play
her harp.
Assertively attracted by the adrenaline rush one feels whenever he has
accomplished one of the many of his goals in a life’s area.
Salaciously entranced by anything that brings bewilderment to oneself through
performing repetitive rituals.
Sagaciously knowledgeable in merging time and creativity in order to fulfill one’s
goals.
Inflating one’s mind with muscle memory through performing repetitive acts, while
he inquiries the yogi.
Obliging to one’s self-control to help him maintain continuous endeavors of extreme
challenges, however still somersaulting in the pools of pleasures that comes
from being a wino.
Nagging oneself to digest all hindrances that cross his path and to laugh at
everyone that believes him to be rather plain.
Associating oneself with people that share the same joy as himself when viewing a
painting of a chimera.
Tremendously full of a vigorous amount of self-motivation that pushes oneself over
every extreme and limit.
Engaging in several festivities in order to celebrate his achievements and hopes for
a progressive future.

Eric Shelman Poem
The Poet’s Method
Seducing the world with his knack of chosen words that are spoken by
intellectuals of his time to spread his message to the world
Inspiring the world with his knowledge of all subjects of life
Merging his views with others to be heard by the world
Beautifying all words by transforming them into a river of a universal oneness
Conjuring up new topics to write about, through never-ending strenuous hours and
hours of preparation, execution, creating, and destroying, through thoroughly
revising and editing until he is quite certain that everything is perfect.
Tediously examining each chosen word to make sure that the chosen ones are the
best way of expressing his conveying purpose.
Explosively linking alliteration, personification, illusions, and allusions with disastrous
melodies full of wordplays, rhymed with an unnatural mixture of intentional
chaotic order, blended in with a perfect, powerful, and lyrical poetic-prose
Creating masterpieces that illustrate the beauty of nature with words
Glorifying the sad reality that everything living must eventually die
Prophesying about the metaphysical realms outside of this world
Uniting imagination and experience together to make his works recognizable by the
reader

Eric Shelman Poem
Words of Choice
Wondering while thoroughly
occupying one’s time to use a poet’s tool to help
rectify his most efficient
decision on what words to use
shrewdly seeking words that will speak volumes to their readers
opening new ventures by illuminating
forms of expression through observant experimentation
constructively criticizing oneself to
habitually master the literary arts by being
overwhelmingly passionate for the pleasures that are
illustrated with the beautification of the art of words
compiling thoughts and experiences together to assist his voice
evaluating the chosen words by making sure that they all fit harmoniously as one.
