Cos we don't need to look back
To know who we really are

waiting as my mentor taught
to please weary gentlemen
massaging egos.

Do likewise.

Skilled to heal.

Transfigure into blessings,
Her renewed true form
Transforms all of the lies taught
Into a future of truth.

Pinioned by chains of reason,
Shackled by rational thought,
We’re victims of what we believe,
And of all the lies we’re taught.
