Focus and Balance

It's hard to stay focused If your mind is never still You'll never find your inner peace If you don't meditate on your will The will to practice with your whole being You will never find the balance To be authentic in your living You'll just be living by the domesticated rules That from you were carefully conditioned within you That offer up your compliance Simply to follow and not to be The potential individual, amazingly unique Achieving all your hopes And living out your dreams You will simply end up another zombie of this illusory society Fodder for the workhouse Fodder for their wars Living by the trickle down theory Eating the scraps discarded onto the floor Of the table from which the rich eat And where we sit begging for more Break out of this conditioning and live by your own laws And existential being that defines your own cause.

As I read this I am thinking Auntie Mame; she was not satisfied to be one of the masses, nor was Lady Gaga or anyone else who has really brought their whole self out in the open - Tina Turner, Cher, Bette Midler. Thank you for these feelings.
