don't tell me not to bare my teeth
you warn me about the three fold law.
law, my ass.
the power comes from within me.
the intention comes from deep in my bones.
no sunset law rules my life.
I know that the sun will rise again
and I can rise with it.
if you believe in karma so deeply
then surely you believe that
we have the capacity
to be the vehicle for it,
right?
"love and light".
yes I believe in love
but there cannot be light
without the presence and
acceptance of darkness.
pure light
does not account for
the shadows we make
while standing in the sun.
if you stand in a desert
and all you can see is sand
would you believe there's forests?
or would you drown in the sand?
you tell me to be nice,
to not curse,
to be the bridge of understanding.
why must I be kind
to those who would throw me
in a pit of lions
for the thrill of it?
why must I be kind
to my oppressor?
when prey gets gutted by the predator,
do you hope it stood in
grace and patience
first?
