Freedom of Thought Calls for You to Speak Truth

Sometimes through our suffering we gain insights. I use my own pain to find my truth as I feel freed when I find the pearls of truth. To be true to yourself and others is the only leadership. It leads us home to understanding, empathy and happiness. It is the future.

SCHOOLS WITHOUT WALLS

The Great Ocean Road,
Takes me close to the edge,
As the waves of the ocean erode more of what is shore,
The tears in my eyes blur my destination,
As the storm of my uncertainty breaks up my hopes,
Erodes my aching heart,
As I crash on the rocks of my life,
Over and over,
Without relief,
Of a sunny day.

My life a droplet in an ocean of turbulence,
In truth it means nothing,
It comes from nothing and returns to it,
For nothing matters,
No life of consequence,
Only consequences for expressing my life,
For peace is an idea,
No-one knows,
Or is interested in.

I don’t care where the road takes me,
I don’t care if I am taken by the road,
As the infinite possibilities of my life fade,
Into dreams that can never be realized,
Relegated to idealization by those who have no ideals,
For my life is not valued by the true intentions of what is real to me,
And as I speak I am not heard with justice,
No one is hearing to learn from experience,
They just repeat words that have no meaning,
Meeting truth with silent contempt,
For I am not seen for who I am,
As people see what they want to,
I am never answered,
In truth.

So I leave an impossible staircase,
There is no logic or way out,
The maize of confusion just traps me in despair,
For this heart is bruised and battered,
As I stare at the ocean without emotion,
For I died a thousand times,
And there was no help or understanding from my cries,
Just lies submerged in silence,
No standing room in rooms without views,
For there is no higher perspective,
No illumination to show the leadership of another way,
Where wisdom is unity,
Inclusivity is equality,
Justice is fairness,
For true intelligence is found in discovering ones humanity,
To move us away from the insanity
Of isolation.

Yet they live in dark narrow worlds,
Where there is no light or expansion,
More thoughts and tension,
As realisation meets apprehension,
For ‘being seen to be’ is the real sedition,
‘Seeing to be’ is the petition,
For schools without walls,
Where freedom of thought calls,
Embraced with curiosity by all,
For luminosity is the real alumni
Creating unlimited possibilities,
As all challenges are gateways that force us to think and feel,
Unlocking the keys to our own puzzles as unreal,
For mind games go in circles.

To find keys one must think differently,
And question more,
A Socratic dialogue,
An Agora of free thinking expressions,
Allowing for difference and diversity as natural tensions,
Using inquiry as tools of change,
For the final stage gauges the real performance in life,
As the leading role,
That discovers authenticity,
Manifests in meaningful actions not words,
Housing the real learning of higher knowledge,
When we are open,
To know,
Infinite truths.
