An Individual Is a Radical Jewel

Forget the isms
Duality stitched on a fork
To fill the banks and prisons

Comfort and security
Lull a complacent mind
Into stated banners
And ill-begotten manners

Bring out Real humanity
Though in the mud he may be
All of us sifting through
Hidden corners of our Being

To reach the spell of Creation
Call it DNA or coded Sleep
Call it Infinite possibility
Currently enmeshed in certain probabilities 

To know thyself
And then speak of the World
A precious jewel
That cannot be seen
