Notes About The Poem

We live our life through the constructs we have chosen to believe in.  They were created; they can be re-created. Life is a do-over once we see we are trapped in a particular construct. We can free ourselves from the existing boundaries of any unwanted construct; and use a purposeful construct to recreate our lives into beauty, health, abundance, happiness and joy. 

Constructs

Ignorance is a lie;
A construct of entitlement.

Separation is a lie;
A construct of inflated ego.

Hatred is a lie;
A construct of self-directed loathing.

Powerlessness is a lie;
A construct of apathy.

Racism is a lie;
a construct of ignorance.

Entitlement is a lie
A construct of degradation.

Death is a lie;
A construct of embedded fear.

Poverty is a lie;
A construct of perverted power.

Dominance is a lie;
A construct of perversion.

Construct:  A complex image or idea formed
of a number of simpler images or ideas.

Reconstruct:  rebuild from the ground up.

Thoughts are things, and words have power to transform;
A construct of enlightenment.
