Dedicated to Sloanranger a Wattpad Poet
Today
I am not the hippie,
I don't wear flowers in my hair,
I don't take strange drugs,
just to see the diamonds in the sky,
or vibrant colours in the air.
So what am I?
Today
I am not part of the club,
I don't like rugby, or any football code,
I don't drink beer either,
nor do I live by any out dated law,
of eye for an eye.
So what am I?
Today,
I am not new age,
I don't believe in alien second comings,
but I see the beauty of crystals,
and hold the rosy quartz
as I thread it on a necklace to wear.
So what am I?
Today,
No temple or church,
can make me feel
welcomed,
I no longer see " love"
belonging to any one organized religion.
So what am I?
Today,
I still live and consume,
buying that mobile phone,
and tap away at a laptop,
posting poetry in a virtual world,
Still supporting the system,
of worldwide destruction,
still forgetting to recycle.
still wishing that my life
could be greener.
But I know what is right,
but I still, find that I,
can't afford the water tank,
or the solar panels,
because I live in a bracket,
of the lowest first world.
So what am I?
Today,
I will take a walk in your shoes,
and see how it is to walk like you,
with the help of reality TV,
Is this what your life is really ?
I could never survive as you do.
So what am I?
Today,
I see that I still consume,
I still eat and throw,
much more than I need,
and I still buy all those electronic gadgets.
So what am I?
Today,
I still dream,
of living freely,
In a commune,
making jam, and playing music,
living like a hippie,
in the forest green.
Today,
I still see how happy,
sport culture makes people,
release tensions
of everyday distresses.
It just isn’t how I wish it,
I find my own way to release,
un wanted feelings in a creative way.
Today,
I find love,
in every heart I touch,
and no church walls,
divide it for it is universal,
like “Blake the Poet'.
Today,
I am more new aged,
than I would like to admit,
I write about the power of the mind for goodness sake.
Today,
I still have no way of really knowing,
how the others live
that are not as I am,
regardless what is screened
on the television screen.
Unless, I really listen and walk with thee.
whoever you may be,
within your world.
