Free Thinker

Free Thinker

I’m told how to feel I’m told how to think. Got me scared to blink, so I drink. Tired of being programmed like the masses. They want us lazy and on our asses. I’m told to believe in God. How can I when I know too many people who lost against the odds. I find it kind of odd that he’s allowing this planet to fall to its knees. Still you gotta be a believer, never questions things you don’t know. One things for sure we are all born equal, what we do with our talents determines the sequel. We’re too black,too fat, too white,too skinny, too selfish, too friendly. Conditioned with being comfortable with our positions. Indulging in sins so go sit in a church, and do it all over again. History repeats itself but what if we broke tradition. Seems like being broke is a tradition. Maybe I’m just talking crazy or it’s my intuition.

WOOOW! So real!!! So much I think many of us can relate to. Jesus didn't follow tradition too good either; especially if it was enslaving the poor. 

SHALOM 🙏🏼

STUNNING poetic honesty dear poet brother.....a fine piece of poetic prose that allows & compels the reader on.....into the kind of challenging thinking that ANY good writer would like to call/allow himself to be proud of!!......ALL STARS & PINNED!!.........VERY well conceived & BEAUTIFULLY delivered!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo  : )
PS... although, I DO think that the formatting could have been a bit more "well presented'" so as to have allowed for the 'huddled masses' to have been more powerfully moved/motivated by the whole of this truly honest and brilliantly loving text!!......well done MEL!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!.......T xo  : )
