But by Soul//Pop(ulation)(p)ul(l)(r)arity
people's worth is not by pop(ulation)(p)ul(l)(r)arity
but by soul
do you have one, do you know?
abandoned, now over grown ...
thought it childish outdated, slow
wandered 'round like you would never know
no rules excepting good, does what it would
no school could ever teach it, only meet it -
not outside, no organization
of people reside making rules to govern
overturned. it knows better never fooled
About this poem
Matthew 16:26 sometimes if/when we rest, we will find the best - that we are. what were we looking for here - in life, on earth? don't know, forgot? the child (innocence) knew, ... but forgot from others and schooling and society and conditions and experiences and wrong thinking and from losing along the way what was best and pure, holy and just in and of itself, and not of another or others too much, not of ideals mistakingly laid on it's shoulders, too heavy for any worthwhile journey of life. more »
