THE POET'S VISION
So here I am in time and space.
A Creator...
A King...
A God...
of my own destiny;
personal existentialism.
My fate rests
in my great hands.
I will take responsibility
for my actions.
My development as a human being
is only earned through
hard work and noble effort.
Each day I will
push life to the limits,
until the moment
I am transformed.
Only then will I understand
what it is
so many people blindly worship.
I will not partake
in spiritual fatalism.
I can not bow down and praise
any god commanding me
to kill and destroy
in its name or
adhere to a preplanned lifestyle
that prohibits the exploration
of my own spiritual beliefs.
How wonderful it would be
to bring all beliefs
together into one
peaceful, humanitarian thought.
I will gladly tolerate anyone
who is willing
to return the favor.
I prefer to live
in a state of controlled anarchy
with a golden rule:
Philadelphia Rock Bands
do not interfere
with other people's lives,
and honor and expect
the same in return.
A body that governs also suppresses.
What one person or small minority
has any right
to outline how
the vast majority of common people
should behave and express themselves?
I will not be enslaved into
any system that allows only the
authoritative views to be judged proper.
I seek unrestrained freedom.
Most people can not even comprehend
that they are not,
nor ever will be,
truly free.
I am not completely free...yet.
However, I realize I am more free than many
because of the strength and determination
of my spirit and vision.
Philadelphia Rock Bands
I have no desire to revolt against,
battle, and topple
existing authority of any kind.
This would lead me to
a position of power
I struggled to overcome.
I believe in individual revolution.
I only desire to detach myself
from existing authority and
the urge to control and dominate other people.
With this system of willpower
I will achieve true freedom and independence.
Reason is my guide and imagination my tool.
Calculated, logical thinking can shape
a dream into a realistic vision.
I possess magic inside my mind.
I rationally study an impossible problem
and let my imagination expand.
My learned knowledge uncovers
previously unknown possibilities
and forms a conclusive solution.
Arts to the universe;
