The law of the land

The cycle of maturity of a person as they grow to realize the laws of the land. A somewhat short poem about growth and social laws

The law of the land

The law of the land is to not feel.
Do not feel the satisfaction of achievement
Do not feel the sorrow of loss
Do not feel the joy of the blue birds song
Do not feel the hatred of those surrounding

If you are yourself you will only become lost in the waves of sadness that bury me from head to toe
The mass manufacturing of my feelings are overwhelming my heart
I begin to chop at the knowledge tree in hopes to save myself
But It comes tumbling down without a sound
I reach out to the angels back to no avail
I bite from the forbidden fruit and find that the answer is not to feel
It's the law of the land if you don't want to suffer
But the price comes swiftly and punishes me

My black blood wants to be blue like the sky, but it becomes red like fire
I betray the law and become enraged at my foolishness

I am lonely
I live in no mans land
There are many here, but we don't talk
We sit in silence watching the cactus dry in the sun
The crow barks at the ground
And all is right with the world

We, the law breakers, are cast away like a rag onto a vast plane
Alone

The self does not suffer any longer
And we burst into a world of buoyant colors
And I finally comprehend that I will always be lonely living in this world
So I let go of myself and find that I am enlightened
And I rid myself of purpose
I am not me
I am all
I am the law
And I now have to set the law of the land as god said when he turned a blind eye on me
I am now my own god
And the law of the land is to not feel, even though you must feel to rid yourself of them.
