Why would I want
to be like
everybody else?
Ever?
By some miracle
of Creation,
I am unique,
I came here to
make my own
contributions to
life, society,
and humanity.
If you and I
think like
everybody else,
we all become
a goopy,
boring,
stagnant,
uncreative,
unproductive,
homogenized,
mishmash of
conformist
hive minds
wearing the same hat.
Why would I?
Why would you?

Society used to
be built on
the character of
the people who
wove the fabric.
Integrity,
Honesty,
Hard Work,
Relationships,
and Vision.
These were the
vital strands
woven into the
warp and weft of
our world.
Now society is
fabricated on
voices in thin air,
virtual words with
empty promises.
We want that
world back,
a place where
strong character’s
substance reigns.
But wanting and
deciding are
two unlike things,
one is a wish,
the other intent.
Nothing comes
for free, and
everything worth
anything is still
worth the work.

Madness engulfs us,
teetering at the abyss,
we may lose it all –
The tightening noose
is choking our happiness,
how to thrive in this?
If this is a dream
it’s humanity’s nightmare,
we can choose to wake –
Our souls are the gold,
don’t sell them for promises,
we have the free will.
The sky’s the limit,
our blue-sky imaginings
will seed our new dream –
Let’s breathe, take a step,
walk away from the madness,
and never look back.

The golden leaves fall,
fearing not the decay of
a coming winter.
Death is essential
to the renewal of life –
All will spring again.
If each in nature
can feel this simple rhythm,
so can humans too.
Why do we resist?
Our fears overshadow the
truth of our being.
But the fall leaves know,
they show us that we too will
green the tree anew.
