of
a sudden i feel
this
surge of freedom
no
more envy
of
the
eagle…
for
i dwell
within
its
perception
victimized
by
my own
suppression
this
bondage
lived
was all my own…
to
change the mighty
course
of seas
is
not within the range
of
men
to
shift direction
of
the breeze
is
but a dream
and
a wish
and
as empty
as
the
echo…
It is who I am to speak
of the far reaching inner strength of mankind.
To tap upon the source
that is perhaps known though not realized due to its lack of actuality.
Of times gone by, I thought
it more appropriate to speak within the way of questioning, or to address true belief, by way of the theoretical.
No longer for the acceptance
of the social hierarchy, shall I balance justification based upon the levels of the morality of others.
It exists within the essence
of the inner self to realize the evolutionary force of the inner strength which dwells within.
I search not of the acclamation
of men; for the ways and the results of my actions shall serve as the sketch of my reality.
Suppression of the self
is suppression of one’s growth and development.
How many times has the
truth of mankind been smothered and snuffed out by the often selfish and arrogant ideologies of a given society.
And is not fear of truth,
the greatest fear of all?
I have endeavored to question
many facets of our systematic ideals and philosophies.
Oppressive, dehumanizing
acts of psychological conditioning used to defeat the inner strength of the individual and to replace it with a self defeating
lesser self; who in turn, lives in a negative process of lowered self worth and a perpetual legacy of self destruction.
These have been the tools
of humanity.
The theft of one’s
realization of who I am is within itself, a testimony to the power of the knowledge of self.
Who I am is the catalyst
of our inner faith and the removal of the limitations imposed upon us by ignorance.
It is essential that I
endeavor to confront and to accept the vision, the quest and the actuality of who I am.
I shall exist to speak
and to live by the ways of reality and truth.
No production of mankind
shall corrupt the strength of the inner self to realize the vision and the power of who I am.
And if by circumstance that I might stumble or falter in the darkness as I embark upon this quest of self discovery.
I shall rise by the strength of my own convictions and walk within the light of my own sincerity.
