Authenticity

Imagination is more important than knowledge, while authenticity is more important than imagination.

Authenticity

Often me, myself, and I can't agree,

Over how divided we've become again!

Who is doing all of the arguing this time!

And who, exactly, is in charge around here!

Cast adrift upon more passionate seas of life!

Castaways on lost horizons bereft any anchor!

Waves threatening to swamp our tiny life raft;

We all set aside any politics and metaphysics!

Where all may agree, upon knowing nothing!

Except that the others, don’t know nothing.

Ego not really possessing self-awareness,

Whilst, suffering the slings and arrows,

Of, outrageously, episodic misfortunes!

Yet, amongst the noblest of all qualities!

Those even damned fools, can comprehend!

Even those amongst us crapping their pants!

Even those sticking anything in their mouths!

Even those totally clueless to what's going on!

Highly regarded by any in cartoon Wonderland!

Well regarded by any on our stairway to heaven!

Endorsed, by even Peter Pan and all the lost boys!

Which even the duller among us, may comprehend!

Which the most thoroughly confused can yet grasp;

Heralded throughout the entire known multiverse!

The splendor and glory, abiding within humanity!

Plausibility merely probable, to a certain extent!

Who we become, is all a matter of perseverance.

Within the usual peanut gallery of caricatures,

Some of us, yet more triumphant than others!

Standing out in the confusing pandemonium!

Of sulky profligates remaining anonymous!

Of clowns with the lowest lowbrow taste!

Of our current peanut gallery's assembly,

Of the more unusual motley characters!

Clarification a dispersing effervescent luminescence, in midair!

Accompanying entertaining laughter fading off into the distance.

Does anybody really know what time it is, does anybody really care?

Mama always said she didn't raise no damned fools!

Tell others I worked hard, to become the idiot I am!

Watched clocks never boil, or some-such nonsense!

I never really could follow everything mama said.

Mama, always, having a warped sense of humor!

She apologized, insisting styles are here to stay.

Whereas fashions like ignorance, come and go!

While nothing can beat, genuine authenticity!

Nobody, can do better than to be themselves!

Reckoning whether outside or in, authenticity comes from someplace!

Reckoning, knowing without knowing all I really know is nothing;

Regardless of more extremely pressing immediate consternation!

Regardless of whether earth confronts an insidious invasion,

Regardless of whatever some damned fools might desire.

Regardless of what any other damned fool may say!

Regardless of any vocal protests which come up,

Any invasion conspiracy, not withstanding!

Most can yet agree upon, One Great Truth!

Silence is golden, if nobody actually listens!

Talking to ourselves, without even listening.

Merely confirms that nobody wants to listen!

Like a blinking light, showing our stereo is on!

When nobody, is really using the damned thing.

Just in the hope, it might make a real difference!

Just in the hope some might actually understand!

Rather than blinking like a deer in the headlights!

Hello, hello, hello, hello is there anybody in there?

Knowing, you are playing around with yourself!

Knowing its nothing more than masturbation;

Knowing there really is no point in talking,

When there really is just no one listening!

However many may be inside your head!

You are what you is, and that's all it tis!

Bes whatever you may truly desire to bes,

Become, what you wish to be perceived as.

Become someone you would enjoy meeting,

Always know thyself and think for thyself!

Learn how to listen well to your own heart!

Become content as who you want to become!

Become content that none may do you better!

Become content simply to take your next step!

Become content bumbling a road less traveled!

Take care of strangers, you find along the way!

Take care of one another, and always be happy!

Discover contentment, in each other's company!

Discover joy in sharing life's greatest adventure!

Keep communities small, with just a few people!

But, ensure that all learn, how to read and write!

Practice the arts and celebrate any achievements!

Keep all weapons you may possess always secure!

Know all your neighbors, but, remain independent!

Be prepared to deal with any unforeseen exigencies!

Celebrate the ability, to appreciate any eccentricity.

Celebrate the ability, to always laugh at yourselves,

Celebrate humanity's enduring freedom to celebrate!

Remember the unexamined life is never worth living!

Knowing thyself the world feels like your own home!

Know thyself, all our world feels like they know you.

Knowing thyself, all our world tends to invite you in!

Knowing thyself, all the world may learn their hearts.

Knowing thyself, your joy spreads to the whole world.

Nothing provides, greater satisfaction or contentment!

Nothing provides superior insight, virtue, and wisdom!

Nothing is more rewarding, than becoming who we are!

To know your own heart is to know what love is about!

To know your own heart is to discover our true freedom!

Follow the silence of beautiful words, as if a siren voice!

Follow your heart witnessing the world following theirs!

Knowing thyself, is how you may become more authentic.

Only knowing thyself, might we all become who we wish!

But, guard your good name as you would a precious jewel!

The richest of jewels, you can ever have in your possession.

Any reputation is like a fire that can be arduous to rebuild.

For us to be all that we can be each heart must first be free!

For us to be all we can be each must free their loving hearts!

Set your heart free, and it will reward the favor many times.

Set your heart free if you want, to experience actual freedom!

Never underestimate what all humanity can still accomplish!

Never make the mistake, of underestimating any contribution!

Not when the smallest amongst us, could yet move mountains!

Not when a miracle to believe in abides forever inside everyone!

Forever the way shapes the world, as the world shapes the way!

For we are simply the children of God, and citizens of the world!

Just begging for love, on ascending the great stairway to Heaven!

Babes lost in the wilderness of space on their loving mother earth!

Dazed and confused on our difficult journey which has just begun!

Demoralized and exhausted struggling to ascend the endless stairs!

Crying out lost in the wildness beseeching mother nature’s blessing.

Who can frequently lose sight of their marvelous mother and father!

Who can easily forget all the love and joy in our hearts is a blessing!

Who easily forget, that we are the world we are the Children of God!

Constrained to encouraging ourselves as well as, each other to think!

Constrained to helping each other up instead of, doing all the lifting!

When distinctions between our hearts and brains, no longer matter!

Knowing we know nothing, our harmony neither acts nor reasons!

Being incapable of ever straying far from the path lost and alone!
