Surrender
The doorway to transformation
Is built on surrender
Acceptance of what is
Allows space to grow
Clinging to outdated beliefs
Serves no one but tyrants
Justifications for murder abound
The answers only found
Within our own hearts
As much as we
Say it is all
Illusion
Do we truly understand
The nature of collusion
Islands we are not
Our realities intimately connected
With all living beings
To think we can
Escape the law of
Cause and effect is
Foolish
Denial avoidance and disconnection
Does not equate to detachment
Polarity defining the binary
Is not the same
As willfully and deliberately
Claiming rights to murder
Granted by devious aristocrats
Desperately hoping to cling
To ill-begotten power undeserved
By making us question
Our allegiance to humanity
Now are the times
Foretold in our myths
That we must choose
To stand in truth
Or crumble in lies
Middleground is non-existent when
Two wrongs are deemed
Right forcing us to
Fight among ourselves about
Whose murder machines offer
A chance of salvation
Meanwhile knowing full well
There are no sides
Only planetary citizens united
By our dependence on
The air we breathe
The earth we tread
The water we drink
The fire in our veins
Reminding us that separation
Is the greatest deception
We do not hold
You to account because
We hate you
We love you
We hate to see
You destroy yourself in
Pursuit of worthless ideals
That bred the delusion
Of individualism and suffering
Rather than establishing firm
Boundaries
So your childish fervour
For war and annihilation
Does not threaten community
Built on values of
Universal truth and interconnectedness
Truly I am because
You are not mere
Stolen words bereft of
Meaning
Deep knowing heartfelt oneness
Described in the scriptures
Proven by metaphysical sciences
But yet denied by
The masses
Follow
Only your heart
You will know
When it is time
To arise
In love
Blind to the reality
Of cause and effect
Embittered sinners lament not
Their own misguided deeds
But instead seek to
Cast blame on others
Those not quite
Right enough
White enough
Tight enough
With old colonial narratives
Those who don't
Sit down enough
Shut up enough
Look away enough
When facing mass genocide
Those who can't
Condone this shit
Be complicit in it
Keep trying to fit
Into outdated modes of being
For the first time truly seeing
Consequences
Of long-forgotten actions
Chickens
Coming home to roost
Being called pestilence
As denial runs deeper
Than Zionist pockets
Willing us to abandon
Our humanity
Our sanity
Our faith
Our trust
Our spirit
We remember who we are
We know we are love
We refuse to be co-opted
Into supporting pure evil
Advancing agendas
Of death and destruction
Lulling us into oblivion
Medicated and sedated
Begging for more
Scientific intervention
We reject the lies
Our only ties
To our heartsong
We have survived
For so long
We will continue
To resist
