Dropping the Kool-Aid

I’m tired of the bullshit
That says, “Watch what you do;
For every single action 
Brings the same back to you.”

I’m tired of well-meaners
Who tirelessly remind 
That every word that’s spoken 
Brings more to you in kind 

I’m sick of the enthusiasts 
(And I myself was one)
That tell you your vibration
Can bring misery or fun 

I’m not saying that’s not true
(though who can say they KNOW?)
This verse, it isn’t writ to say
“Don’t listen; it’s not so!”

No, that’s not what I’m saying
No, that’s not what I think
All I’m trying to imply is:
Look closer at that drink

Maybe the ingredients
Of the Kool-Aid in your hand
Aren’t quite what you think they are
Aren’t what you understand

Cuz as I have looked closer
At this drink I once devoured 
The veil, the shroud, has come apart 
The illusion’s soured 

Cuz each of those “dear phrases”
(And several more in kind)
Sure, they have made me look closer
At the products born of Mind

But have they made a difference?
I guess indeed they have
But that difference, it’s not one
That was begat of love

The difference is judgement.
Yes, judgment is the key
That I’ve been using on each door
The Universe sent to me

“Oh don’t do that, cuz that is bad”
“Oh don’t say that, it’s wrong”
I’ve been so busy judging me
I’ve missed out on the Song

The Song that is composed of
Each thought, action, and whim
Yet even in my missing it,
I helped compose this Hymn

So putting down my judgements 
Of Love, or Fear, or Hate
I think I’ll choose to just Accept 

And in my Fear.... create.
