To Love Yourself Reforms Humanity
I felt to repost a poem I wrote on love. My favourite subject.
LOVE ACTUALLY
Do you know love?
Is it sexual attraction?
Is it making love?
Yet how can one make what one is?
Unconditional love,
Is freedom,
Pure and simple,
For there are no conditions,
That holds or withholds,
There is only love,
No matter the outcome.
How can one receive real love?
When one has never experienced giving it?
I have known the fragments of loves diamond,
I have seen its many faces,
For some are in disguise,
Some come in the face of pain,
Some reveal through hardship,
It is the lover who sleeps,
For the sleeping beauty,
Is not awakened to its own truth.
I have seen you from amidst the crowd,
I have loved you without a sound,
I have sent you the messages,
For I am a dove,
I was sent to you to feel again,
To be real again,
To see again,
That only truth sets you free.
I speak now to all those in conflict,
This is very hard,
Yes this is the most difficult test,
For emotions pull you away,
Emotions withdraw,
Become buried for fear lives in suppression,
As distorted expression,
Fear closes down real communication,
Fear refuses to meet in the middle,
And remains in the ignorance,
Of detached silence.
So one refuses to lay the cards on the table,
What can you do?
For you are frustrated and in pain,
You have strained to resolve,
But the door revolves,
As you find yourself out on the street,
Feeling homeless again.
Speak only in words of love and truth,
Until it stops hurting,
This is discipline not austerity,
Never retaliate or cause harm,
For pain projected outwards returns home,
Only truth takes responsibility,
When the goal is higher than one self.
The heart is emotional intelligence,
It is the silent speaker,
For only a quiet voice can be heard,
Dear friend ask for guidance,
Await the wisdom,
Never act in fear,
For the seer within will be there,
And you must hold a firm line,
For injustice will make you pay,
Injustice will leave you to rot,
Injustice will ignore your death,
And await for another life to victimize.
Solve the problem never hate the persecutor,
For they know not what they do,
The unevolved and unaware are blinded by ignorance,
They are unconcerned and uninterested in truth,
For they have not discovered the value
Of the true authentic life.
So how to move through such hindrances?
A decision for resolution,
Doesn’t mean happy families,
It means truth emerging from the shadows of deception,
The fragile flower breaking through the stone,
For the environment is tough and rigid,
Soul force cracks the heart of stone,
As words come forth in a tirade,
The tyrant emerges as pressure valves explode,
For kindness and truth rattle the cage,
Of fixed indifference that won’t move,
A refusal to look into the story of their book,
For responsibility requires a re-write,
And when one finds the rite of passage,
There are no more questions.
World peace is responsibility,
That is – the ability to respond,
For truth is the pathway and the door,
Without doubt a universal law,
World peace is not an oxymoron,
It is the work of inner discipline
Exposing inner truth,
For the interplay,
Formulates an intranet of new neural networks,
Of matrices re-forming the web of life,
Sustaining humanity through truth and love,
All ways.
