The system is not safe
It is deception—

Our predilection
for external illusion
prettied up on a silver platter
merely a trap
that will snap
and wrap us
in its sticky web.

Close your eyes
In stillness
listen for the song.
Feel into the promise
that you are wholly worthy, 
born innocent and strong.

Alchemy brings remedy,
erasure of guilty conscience
Good Society has placed upon you
in exchange for its supposed gifts.
We faill to see the rifts
and true nature slips
further and further
from us.

Right relation to shame restored, 
may we return to grace
and natural state
of the longing 
to belong,
to be
free.

Life begins within
without exception.
