A Piece In The Puzzle

We have no enemies only friends in disguise
tasked with helping us rise to levels
previously unknown
They may know not what they do so have
compassion for those souls
& seek to learn from them as there's wisdom
in their acts if you study their hue
As facts are only opinions agreed upon by a few
I dwell not in what is supposedly factual
but instead search for what's true
The spiritual truth is none of us remember ALL
the answers 
so we need each other as we're all composites of
the whole
The goal is to ultimately see the big picture
& know we all possess different pieces
This world is a puzzling place to exist from
outside in
& many fail to understand that everything outside
exists within
I'm back on my soap box again because there's
a need for us all to be cleansed of
our Original Sin
The fruit of the actions of a few have branched out
& kept us rooted to a past that is
no longer valid
It's a challenging hurdle to overcome but we 
must climb that tree to get a better 
perspective
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree but we can
choose better soil for the seeds
A retrospective point of view offers us a
glimpse of a past that's meant
to be studied as to avoid
its pitfalls
Knowledge only becomes wisdom when applied
so open your eyes & see that some
pictures are only painted to keep
you from knowing you're free
Knowing is an advanced & more accurate form
of belief so knowingly
plant better seeds so that you
grow better trees
