The Unbuttoned Mind

We have erected a perimeter around our minds Planting steel pictures of perfection Dogmas, ideologies, cultural and tribal lines We broke the golden rule of life We detached ourselves from nature We buttoned our minds Closing ourselves inside our newly constructed world We made solid rules on our doorsteps Not to be touched lest we become mad, disheveled and out of touch We have allowed fear into our mindsets To hold us captive inside the walls of our minds Its modus operandi is simply, it uses our own expectations, entanglements and engagements Like an axe to decapitate our pristine manmade reality This is the postmodern world dilemma It is 'Woke' not Awake Wokeness requires so many unspoken rules So much unnecessary judgements Awakening is a conscious process, a spiritual illumination, An awareness of the known and the unknown It needs the body, mind and soul to be in harmony To be the canvas of life, we need to unbutton our minds Let life flow unhindered inside our being Let the sacred Light be our guide Not the contents of time and space Our thoughts and emotions are always leading us astray We are always colliding with each other, causing unnecessary injury to our collective consciousness Selfishness and wickedness are our new found powers, hobbies and interests It's not possible to hold on the material world It is always decomposing, eroding and dying Learn to hold onto the spirit It is the fabric of existence The weaver of strong bonds, the vase of true knowledge It is the path and the way to your freedom It is the path of silence, peace and happiness It is the unbuttoned mind Thank you
