The Eyes That See

I remember who we are
& who it is
we came to be
You're supposed to be
free of chains
that bind your brain
to illusions
Purposeful confusion
meant to enslave 
your mind but 
these contusions will
heal with time
This is a sign of the times
& the fulfillment of
what's been prophesied
is in us
The lionized image
we've all come to know
is here now hiding
under your nose
It flows to & fro
like an energy seeking
the right frequency
There is no contingency 
plan for this 
for it is this that
must be
No plan B
for you're meant to see
the birth of what's both
old & new
The bold truth is
a lot of what we're told
& told to do are lies
mixed with truth
I know it's sad
but true
& if you go within
yourself you'll see it too
It speaks to you
in a quiet way
a voice that came 
to say
Wake up now
this very day
for this time waits
for no one
Once you come to realize
what you've ignored
all this time
you may be troubled
but worry not
Hurry into the temple
in which he dwells
to see what he's got
to show & tell
Instead of buying dreams
that sell false hope
widen your scope to get
a full view of things
Yes this life is a dream
& you are the one
writing the script and
acting out every scene
You are a being
that comes from the one
with eyes all seeing
& knowledge of 
all things
