To Which Image Should We Cling
The only image we cling to
Should be the one in the mirror.
Of that I could not be surer.
Your idols will let you down in the end.
Jesus, Elvis, Lennon, and John Paul the Second,
Even Ghandi, Theresa, Keller, and MLK.
They're all built up into superheroes.
While the true color of their character,
Behind closed doors, may decay.
Look to yourself.
Go Emersonian.
Ego-less Egoism.
Resurrect the flag of
Transcendentalism.
You are the bling.
Cling to what you sing.
Never stop your song.
Your truth is never wrong.
