Blind till we see

Blind till we see

When you’re young you’re blind to the knowledge unlearned
things uncovered things unturned
Change your thoughts as you grow old
You’re feelings of truth may often turn cold

When you overturn the things that you’re taught
the books that you’ve read
the knowledge you've bought
In schools and online where grown-ups pursue
the teachings of others we all thought we knew
are rock solid

In time we see that they fall
truth comes from life and if nothing at all
for inside our minds
we feel what we feel
our love our pain our fear is real

and then we discover what we believe
what we desire
what we perceive
can sometimes be skewed by others around
who lay their opinions down on the ground right at your feet for you to pick up

But search on your own
for fortune for luck
these words are made up
time and again we’re tricked to believe the words of our friends
the teachings of parents and elders and those
who speak only in riddles equations or pros

Let not them guide you
please guide yourself
don’t chase dreams of others
who only seek wealth
It’s hard to imagine that one day you’ll see the truth with no mirrors
no shadows
we’re free...

to discover
that which we had all along
deep in our minds
from space and time gone
but not forgotten
for it turns and turns
and onto our soul secrets it burns which we must unearth
if we’re to believe
in all that we people can really achieve not just here on Earth but all time and space

Life is a treasure hunt
its not a race

and when you discover what you can achieve leave something behind so others believe
that there’s something more than we have been taught
by those before us
who found themselves caught
by teachings and wisdoms and tricks and lies
take good from these relics
but leave them aside
and as you push forward independently strong
evolution will carry this bright flame along
the road that we travel to reach the last goal

What is the damn meaning of this life at all?

To have a voice in the darkness?
to push life further on?
To commit our thoughts to the words of a song?

To bring joy to another?
To teach war to our young?
To learn from learning until new stars are born?

Embrace all your senses
fill each one each day
let that without substance whither away

Speak softly to others
Be kind to a fault
fight hard against bad men
rise up and revolt

Take charge of your feelings
control HOW you are
be gentle be humble
pursue your dreams far
Enough that you find out the lengths you can reach
Fulfil your brief life that others may teach
to Young human beings the Truth of our plain
The reasons we feel the wind and the rain

The stories behind all religions of man
The way to control the power at hand
The secrets the greed the lies of the few
who let all the others despise and review
their feelings to all things
both living and dead

Let the young of the world know... just Peace instead.
