Its easy to get down...

Maybe what my greatest mistake has ever been
Is allowing my ideology to become my identity
I have been doing this recently
And I'm sure most of you can relate
I have allowed myself to Get Down
And as funky as that sounds
It does me no good

For my wishes to see this world become peaceful
Have been selfish
And I have fooled myself into believing I am part of a war
A War for Peace
A pretty hilarious idea if you ask me

Revolutions come and go
A constant state of evolution
And no one idea is ever the truth
But a sand castle at low tide

We have been conditioned and have conditioned ourselves to believe that we cannot trust one another, that we must close doors instead of opening them. This is simply not true. We are not alone. None of us are alone. I believe that deep within every human being is love, cloaked and at times persecuted, but it is there and it is not a weakness. It is your very survival.

There is always hope, and it does not come in the form of victory. It comes in the form of beingness, and happiness. It is the realization that our world is just a dream, and we can change it anytime we want to.

This is not something that anyone of us can cultivate out of one another. We can only demonstrate it. We can only embody it. We must live as we want to see the world. Only then will those people so crippled by their fear see the wisdom in abandoning it.

Walk through fire
Open your doors
Have no fear
Embrace love
And your oppressors will never defeat you
