Madmen

wisdoms philosophies and religions
of yesterday
have been ransacked today
converted to structured forms of manipulation
for social control, subjugation,
exploitation and ultimately
power, position, and prestige
piety, a lost word and concept
so the people will believe henceforth
that they are powerless
and in need of saving by people
much more powerful than them
so everyone needs someone
which makes everyone need something
and as long as there is people in need
then their will always be a need
for those whom will supply the demand
therefore count yourself
lucky, blessed worthy, destined
or just plain crafty enough
to become a supplier,
not the one in need, demanding
but if you need to learn how to depend on yourself
well there is a supply of teachers that can fulfill that as well
with wisdoms philosophies and religions of yesterday
stolen for today
in structured forms of manipulation
presented as schools of thought
teaching the mind as the master
over the forgotten lessons, foundation, and truth
of the spirit
which frees you into independency and freedom
but as the mind strengthens
within this temporary world
the spirit weakens
from its eternal stature
and afflictions arise and increase
to supply the demand of deeper needs
because you will have symptoms
rooted from a root neglected
but to ail this,
there are spiritual teachers that supply that demand as well
some will assist in creating in you independence
but most will keep you dependent
and call it healing
but never fear, nor worry
for as long as you desire it
we have everything we’ve always needed in this life
its just been stripped of its true form
disguised in plain sight
and as it lies right in front of your eyes
it deceives you
making you believe that it isn’t there
that it is too far away and too hard to grasp
so you will wonder and wander
seeking someone and something to supply that demand
therefore you will become insane
because you will continually expect different results
from the same efforts
by trying to fix a problem that is being made permanent,
with temporary solutions
because you are unaware of
the deep desire and effort of people to exploit people
and you are just an unwitting puppet
a sheep in the flock
chasing behind wolves in shepherd clothing
in the guise of saviors
or an elixir
which only binds you
hides the pain
by blinding you to it
believing numbness is healing
and strength
making you powerful and independent
because the only way people are fixed in this world
is to become suppliers
to a flock of demanders
and you demand to be supplied with a solution to your despair
today, in this life
your power comes from the consistent ability
to fulfill every demand of supply
with plenty leftovers to spare
that you can do what you wish with
gorge yourself even
so knowledge is power
it shackles or it frees you
because it creates the things coveted which determine power
that determine freedom
or imprisonment
as long as you choose to use it
because the truth, power, and freedom is within you
it always has been
you just only need to be aware enough
to access its deep recesses
and you will be as independent
and empowered
as we were all created to be
the mind can not heal the spirit
nor can it properly comprehend it
a spirit influenced life
is more fruitful than a mind driven one
you do not master and free yourself through your mind
but through the spirit
rationality is a limitation of the sources at your expense
utilizing a fraction of what is available of the expanse of your being
practicality can only fragment
and put in small portions the vast well that is your true self
therefore structures put in place
using practical and rational methods
can never turn on the valve of spirit
so that it flows freely like a faucet
freeing you
they will only confine you
