Contemplation of Self
How may we unshackle our consciousness
from bondage to our deep rooted narrowness?
Quote by _Unseeking Seeker
_____________________________
contemplation ...
and questions that I muse of things experienced
and I unshackle what I have witnessed
in deep reveries that make me ponder
conditioning ...
makes some people warped, brainwashed and programed
and after years they become just jaundiced
their thinking biased, distorted and so bitter
prejudice ...
is out of control all over the world I think
sexism, ageism and racism
are preconception mindsets disgusting
intolerance ...
of people and a narrow mind thinking head-set
only creates barriers in your own life
restricting you from experiences
bias ...
to peoples right of religion is unsettling
my viewpoint is everyone has the right
to follow the God that they believe in
rooted ...
beliefs are in most people established and deep
like mine that has been by now entrenched
from childhood- and it is now firm and fixed
skill ..
in social interactions taught to young children
by parents gracious, accepting and kind
teach the know-how in navigating life
wealth ...
for some is an obsession to obtain more cash
more luxury, more worldly possessions
not me- I need little to be happy
bondage ...
seeing the world with jaundiced disapproving eyes
keeps you chained and enslaved to servitude
just let go of all discrimination
consciousness ...
awareness is the key to enjoying this life
and all those you meet on this short journey
I have found my tranquility and peace
intellectual ...
people hopefully have overcome prejudice
and have the understanding to accept
but, I think it does not take an Einstein
response ...
well, for me this is simple and not a reflux
or a retort but an intelligent
reply to a question politely said
"and this is my contemplation and pondering
on what I have witnessed in my short life thus far "
