Daily Journey Choices Who Challenge

 

Daily, we come upon forks, within living live whole.

Do we always take the easy way out inside choices?

Avoiding those decisions that will challenge new paths.

Are we compliant followers, cloned onto set society?

 

We become fearful that taking a new different fork,

Will tune others off that you become this Rebel Liberal.

That individual leadership is To BE scorned hard upon

That one must Naught BE weak, double negative affirmation.

 

Strength inside conviction that one takes new passageways,

To see what lies beyond the shell of obedient enclosures.

But one must break the chain link shackles to bear Liberation.

That one must have an individual Declaration of Independence.

 

But what if, I lose friends, become this outcast, butt what if -

I sit upon my ass assuming, one cannot go beyond boundaries.

Day in, day out, being same in, and out, daily rut rutted routines.

Oh Lord, there has to be reasons to reach beyond - TO Live Life.

 

But what if, I open that door. But what if, I take that step outside.

But what if, I explore that trail. But what if, I go beyond the horizon.

But what are words that never meet paper, kept inside to die within?

But what are you, being the yester in the morrow, story going nowhere?

 

There are politicians who flock the lambs, to suit their needs - in conquest.

To Be, To be a compliant clone, being dictated upon, being inside political hell.

That if exist long enough, will constrict love, to out reach dye venom fang,

To spew hate in vile retribution, striking out within vengeance assimilation.

 

That as teachers, professors, Free thinkers, and those Free Press Journalists,

Be attacked At Will, by those in power, who Dictate as Autocrat Totalitarians.

Who once challenged - will turn on friends, loyalists, and those who Report -

Free Speech of Liberties Humanity, amidst mutual universal understanding.

 

TOO BEE Poets navigating the character of civilizations, to achieve Nirvana.

TOO BEE Buzzing Poet Tree written leaves paging a human mind into elevation.

TOO BEE Poetic pollination amid UniQue UniVerse Garden HeArtBeats blossoms.

TOO BEE Ambrosial food for thought as a Sentinel for Freedom and Liberty.

TOO BEE those Guardian Teachers, Professors, Journalists, Writers, Poets -

Who CHALLENGE.

God knows – We need them to CHALLENGE.

Certainly a piece of personal poetry exploration to determine whether or not one is good enough to continue working. In the end you reiterate what it takes to keep the truth flowing when it is confronted by ideological bias and narrow-mindedness.

Very personal and one of your best.
